A screen is placed 1.20m behind a single slit. The central maximum in the resulting diffraction pattern on the screen is 1.40cm

wide-that is, the two first-order diffraction minima are separated by 1.40cm
What is the distance between the two second-order minima?

Answer:

2.8 cm

Explanation:

$y_1$ = Separation between two first order diffraction minima = 1.4 cm

D = Distance of screen = 1.2 m

m = Order

Fringe width is given by

$\beta_1=\dfrac{y_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=\dfrac{1.4}{2}\\\Rightarrow \beta_1=0.7\ cm$

Fringe width is also given by

$\beta_1=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow d=\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}$

For second order

$\beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{d}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2\lambda D}{\dfrac{m_1\lambda D}{\beta_1}}\\\Rightarrow \beta_2=\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1$

Distance between two second order minima is given by

$y_2=2\beta_2$

$\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{m_2}{m_1}\beta_1\\\Rightarrow y_2=2\dfrac{2}{1}\times 0.7\\\Rightarrow y_2=2.8\ cm$

The distance between the two second order minima is 2.8 cm

aniked [119]

Answer:

a) ΔL/L = F / (E A), b) $L_{f}$ = L (1 + L F /(EA) )

Explanation:

Let's write the formula for Young's module

E = P / (ΔL / L)

Let's rewrite the formula, to have the pressure alone

P = E ΔL / L

The pressure is defined as

P = F / A

Let's replace

F / A = E ΔL / L

F = E A ΔL / L

ΔL / L = F / (E A)

b) To calculate the elongation we must have the variation of the length, so the length of the bar must be a fact. Let's clear

ΔL = L [F / EA]

$L_{f}$ -L = L (F / EA)

$L_{f}$ = L + L (F / EA)

$L_{f}$ = L (1 + L (F / EA))

A large crate with mass m rests on a horizontal floor. The static and kinetic coefficients of friction between the crate and the

rjkz [21]

Answer:

a) $F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

b) $\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}$

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem we must first do a drawing of the situation and a free body diagram. (Check attached picture).

After a close look at the diagram and the problem we can see that the crate will have a constant velocity. This means there will be no acceleration to the crate so the sum of the forces must be equal to zero according to Newton's third law. So we can build a sum of forces in both x and y-direction. Let's start with the analysis of the forces in the y-direction:

$\Sigma F_{y}=0$

We can see there are three forces acting in the y-direction, the weight of the crate, the normal force and the force in the y-direction, so our sum of forces is:

$-F_{y}-W+N=0$

When solving for the normal force we get:

$N=F_{y}+W$

we know that

W=mg

and

$F_{y}=Fsin \theta$

so after substituting we get that

N=F sin θ +mg

We also know that the kinetic friction is defined to be:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}N$

so we can find the kinetic friction by substituting for N, so we get:

$f_{k}=\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)$

Now we can find the sum of forces in x:

$\Sigma F_{x}=0$

so after analyzing the diagram we can build our sum of forces to be:

$-f+F_{x}=0$

we know that:

$F_{x}=Fcos \theta$

so we can substitute the equations we already have in the sum of forces on x so we get:

$-\mu_{k}(F sin \theta +mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

so now we can solve for the force, we start by distributing $\mu_{k}$ so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta -\mu_{k}mg)+Fcos \theta=0$

we add $\mu_{k}mg$ to both sides so we get:

$-\mu_{k}F sin \theta +Fcos \theta=\mu_{k}mg$

Nos we factor F so we get:

$F(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)=\mu_{k}mg$

and now we divide both sides of the equation into $(cos \theta-\mu_{k} sin \theta)$ so we get:

$F=\frac{\mu_{k}mg}{cos \theta-\mu_{k}sin \theta}$

which is our answer to part a.

Now, for part b, we will have the exact same free body diagram, with the difference that the friction coefficient we will use for this part will be the static friction coefficient, so by following the same procedure we followed on the previous problem we get the equations:

$f_{s}=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)$

and

F cos θ = f

when substituting one into the other we get:

$F cos \theta=\mu_{s}(F sin \theta +mg)$

which can be solved for the static friction coefficient so we get:

$\mu_{s}=\frac{Fcos \theta}{Fsin \theta +mg}$

which is the answer to part b.
