A flagpole consists of a flexible, 7.14 m tall fiberglass pole planted in concrete. The bottom end of the flagpole is fixed in p

osition, but the top end of the flagpole is free to move. What is the lowest frequency standing wave that can be formed on the flagpole if the wave propagation speed in the fiberglass is 2730 m/s?

Answer:

The lowest frequency is 95.6 Hz

Explanation:

The standing waves that can be formed in this system must meet some conditions, such as until this is fixed at the bottom here there must be a node (point without oscillation) and being free at its top at this point there should be maximum elongation (antinode)

For the lowest frequency we have a node at the bottom point and a maximum at the top point, this corresponds to ¼ of the wavelength, so the full wave has

      λ = 4L

 

As the speed any wave is equal to the product of its frequency by the wavelength

 

      v = f λ

      f = v / λ    

      f = v / 4L

      f = 2730 / (4 7.14)

      f=  95.6 1 / s = 95.6 Hz

A supersonic aircraft flies at 3 km altitude at a speed of 1000 m/s on a standard day. How long after passing directly above a g
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

<h3>After 3seconds</h3>

Explanation:

A supersonic aircraft flies at 3 km altitude at a speed of 1000 m/s on a standard day. How long after passing directly above a ground observer is the sound of the aircraft heard by the ground observer

Using the formula for calculating speed expressed as;

Speed = Distance/Time

Given;

Distance = 3km = 3000m

Speed = 1000m/s

Required

How long after passing directly above a ground observer is the sound of the aircraft heard by the ground observer (Time)

From the formula;

Time = Distance/speed

Time = 3000/1000

Time = 3seconds

Hence the sound of the aircraft is heard after 3 seconds

A uniform ladder of length L and weight w is leaning against a vertical wall. The coefficient of static friction between the lad
pantera1 [17]

Answer: 45.3°

Explanation:

Given,

Length of ladder = l

Weight of ladder = w

Coefficient of friction = μs = 0.495

Smallest angle the ladder makes = θ

If we assume the forces in the vertical direction to be N1, and the forces in the horizontal direction to be N2, then,

N1 = mg and

N2 = μmg

Moment at a point A in the clockwise direction is

N2 Lsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ - mg.(L/2).cosθ = 0

μmgLsinθ = mg.(L/2).cosθ

μsinθ = cosθ/2

sin θ / cos θ = 1 / 2μ

Tan θ = 1 / 2μ

Substituting the value of μ = 0.495, we have

Tan θ = 1 / 2 * 0.495

Tan θ = 1 / 0.99

Tan θ = 1.01

θ = tan^-1(1.01)

θ = 45.3°
