I'm not sure about the magnitude, but the direction of the normal force is upward.

Magnitude : 25 N

Direction: upward

Explanation:

The weight of the book is 25 N and is directed downward: this is the force exerted by the book on the table.

As stated in Newton's third law, for every object A that exerts a force on an object B, object B exerts an equal and opposite force on object A.

In this case, object A is the book and object B is the table. Based on Newton's third law, we can say that the table exerts an equal and opposite force on the book: therefore, the magnitude of the normal force is equal to the weight of the book (25 N), while the direction is opposite (so, upward).

A guitar string has a linear density of 8.30 ✕ 10−4 kg/m and a length of 0.660 m. the tension in the string is 56.7 n. when the

Ans: Beat Frequency = 1.97Hz

Explanation:
The fundamental frequency on a vibrating string is

$f = \sqrt{ \frac{T}{4mL} }$ -- (A)

here, T=Tension in the string=56.7N,
L=Length of the string=0.66m,
m= mass = 8.3x10^-4kg/m * 0.66m = 5.48x10^-4kg 

Plug in the values in Equation (A)

so $f = \sqrt{ \frac{56.7}{4*5.48*10^{-4}*0.66} }$ = 197.97Hz 

the beat frequency is the difference between these two frequencies, therefore:
Beat frequency = 197.97 - 196.0 = 1.97Hz

Shkiper50 [21]

Answer:

Option 1 is correct.

The current passing through the brighter bulb is larger.

Explanation:

The brightness of the bulb is determined by the power, I²R

And since they all have equal resistances, the only factor different that could result in more or less power is the current, I through the bulb.
