Two steel guitar strings have the same length. String A has a diameter of 0.513 mm and is under 403 N of tension. String B has a

diameter of 1.29 mm and is under a tension of 800 N. Calculate the ratio of the wave speeds, vA/vB, in these two strings.

Answer:

\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}} = 1.785

Explanation:

T_{A} = Tension force in string A = 403 N

T_{B} = Tension force in string B = 800 N

d_{A} = diameter of string A = 0.513 mm

d_{B} = diameter of string B = 1.29 mm

v_{A} = wave speed of string A

v_{B} = wave speed of string B

Ratio of the wave speeds is given as

\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}} = \sqrt{\frac{T_{A}}{T_{B}}} \left ( \frac{d_{B}}{d_{A}} \right )

\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}} = \sqrt{\frac{403}{800}} \left ( \frac{1.29}{0.513} \right )

\frac{v_{A}}{v_{B}} = 1.785

Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:df=378

Di=0

Vi=0

T=6s

Formula

Df=Di+Vit+1/2(at)2

378=0+0+6+1/2×a×t2

378=6+1/2×a×36

378=6+18a

18a=378+6=384

a=385/18=21.33(cm/s)/s

Mkey [24]
A lightning strike happens so fast, and only hits a point of your body, but if you've noticed that it still completely melts the part of your body that it has stuck? Also the sun is a large mass of that heat, that will melts you the same way as lightning would if it were to continuously strike you all over your body. <span />
