Answer:

m = 0.0125 kg

Explanation:

Let us apply the formula for the speed of a wave on a string that is under tension:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu} }$

where F = tension force

μ = mass per unit length

Mass per unit length is given as:

μ = m / l

where m = mass of the string

l = length of the string

This implies that:

$v = \sqrt{\frac{F}{m/l} }\\ \\v = \sqrt{\frac{F * l}{m} }$

Let us make mass, m, the subject of the formula:

$v^2 = \frac{F * l}{m}\\\\m = \frac{F * l}{v^2}$

From the question:

F = 20 N

l = 4.50 m

v = 85 m/s

Therefore:

$m = \frac{20 * 4.5}{85^2}\\\\m = \frac{90}{7225}\\ \\m = 0.0125 kg$

When the play button is pressed, a CD accelerates uniformly from rest to 450 rev/min in 3.0 revolutions. If the CD has a radius

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the kinematic equations of angular motion.

Torque from the rotational movement is defined as

$\tau = I\alpha$

where

I = Moment of inertia $\rightarrow \frac{1}{2}mr^2$ For a disk

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

The angular acceleration at the same time can be defined as function of angular velocity and angular displacement (Without considering time) through the expression:

$2 \alpha \theta = \omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

Where

$\omega_{f,i} =$ Final and Initial Angular velocity

$\alpha =$ Angular acceleration

$\theta =$ Angular displacement

Our values are given as

$\omega_i = 0 rad/s$

$\omega_f = 450rev/min (\frac{1min}{60s})(\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev})$

$\omega_f = 47.12rad/s$

$\theta = 3 rev (\frac{2\pi rad}{1rev}) \rightarrow 6\pi rad$

$r = 7cm = 7*10^{-2}m$

$m = 17g = 17*10^{-3}kg$

Using the expression of angular acceleration we can find the to then find the torque, that is,

$2\alpha\theta=\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2$

$\alpha=\frac{\omega_f^2-\omega_i^2}{2\theta}$

$\alpha = \frac{47.12^2-0^2}{2*6\pi}$

$\alpha = 58.89rad/s^2$

With the expression of the acceleration found it is now necessary to replace it on the torque equation and the respective moment of inertia for the disk, so

$\tau = I\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}mr^2)\alpha$

$\tau = (\frac{1}{2}(17*10^{-3})(7*10^{-2})^2)(58.89)$

$\tau = 0.00245N\cdot m \approx 2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$

Therefore the torque exerted on it is $2.45*10^{-3}N\cdot m$
