Find the fundamental frequency and the next three frequencies that could cause standing-wave patterns on a string that is 30.0 m

maksim [4K]

Answer:

0.786 Hz, 1.572 Hz, 2.358 Hz, 3.144 Hz

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency of a standing wave on a string is given by

$f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

where

L is the length of the string

T is the tension in the string

$\mu$ is the mass per unit length

For the string in the problem,

L = 30.0 m

$\mu=9.00\cdot 10^{-3} kg/m$

T = 20.0 N

Substituting into the equation, we find the fundamental frequency:

$f=\frac{1}{2(30.0)}\sqrt{\frac{20.0}{(9.00\cdot 10^{-3}}}=0.786 Hz$

The next frequencies (harmonics) are given by

$f_n = nf$

with n being an integer number and f being the fundamental frequency.

So we get:

$f_2 = 2 (0.786 Hz)=1.572 Hz$

$f_3 = 3 (0.786 Hz)=2.358 Hz$

$f_4 = 4 (0.786 Hz)=3.144 Hz$

Shadow and eclipses result from

Basile [38]

$\huge\mathsf{\red{\underline{\underline{Answer}}}}$

${\green{\dashrightarrow}}$ When an opaque obstacle is placed between a source of light and a screen, a shadow of the obstacle is formed on the screen. The kind of shadow depends on the size of the source of light. In other words, the earth casts its shadow on the moon. The solar eclipse occurs when the moon comes between the sun and the earth.

Ask Your Teacher In the air over a particular region at an altitude of 500 m above the ground, the electric field is 120 N/C dir

strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

$1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

Explanation:

$\epsilon_0$ = Permittivity of free space = $8.85\times 10^{-12}\ F/m$

A = Area

h = Altitude = 600 m

Electric flux through the top would be

$-110A$ (negative as the electric field is going into the volume)

At the bottom

$120A$

Total flux through the volume

$\phi=120-110\\\Rightarrow \phi=10A$

Electric flux is given by

$\phi=\dfrac{q}{\epsilon_0}\\\Rightarrow q=\phi\epsilon_0\\\Rightarrow q=10A\epsilon_0$

Charge per volume is given by

$\rho=\dfrac{q}{v}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10A\epsilon_0}{Ah}\\\Rightarrow \rho=dfrac{10\epsilon_0}{h}\\\Rightarrow \rho=\dfrac{10\times 8.85\times 10^{-12}}{600}\\\Rightarrow \rho=1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

The volume charge density is $1.475\times 10^{-13}\ C/m^3$

A uniform meterstick of mass 0.20 kg is pivoted at the 40 cm mark. where should one hang a mass of 0.50 kg to balance the stick?

Tcecarenko [31]

The weight of the meterstick is:
$W=mg=0.20 kg \cdot 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.97 N$
and this weight is applied at the center of mass of the meterstick, so at x=0.50 m, therefore at a distance
$d_1 = 0.50 m - 0.40 m=0.10 m$
from the pivot.
The torque generated by the weight of the meterstick around the pivot is:
$M_w = W d_1 = (1.97 N)(0.10 m)=0.20 Nm$

To keep the system in equilibrium, the mass of 0.50 kg must generate an equal torque with opposite direction of rotation, so it must be located at a distance d2 somewhere between x=0 and x=0.40 m. The magnitude of the torque should be the same, 0.20 Nm, and so we have:
$(mg) d_2 = 0.20 Nm$
from which we find the value of d2:
$d_2 = \frac{0.20 Nm}{mg}= \frac{0.20 Nm}{(0.5 kg)(9.81 m/s^2)}=0.04 m$

So, the mass should be put at x=-0.04 m from the pivot, therefore at the x=36 cm mark.
