An automobile can be considered to be mounted on four identical springs as far as vertical oscillations are concerned. The sprin

gs of a certain car are adjusted so that the oscillations have a frequency of 3.27 Hz. (a) What is the spring constant of each spring if the mass of the car is 1140 kg and the mass is evenly distributed over the springs? (b) What will be the oscillation frequency if five passengers, averaging 68.0 kg each, ride in the car with an even distribution of mass?

Answer:

a) 120341 N/m

b) 1.432 Hz

Explanation:

Given that

Frequency of oscillations of spring, F = 3.27 Hz

Mass of the car, m = 1140 kg

Average mass of passengers, M = 68 kg

The mass on each spring,

m = 1/4 m,

m = 1140 / 4

m = 285 kg

The spring constant on each spring, k is

ω = √(k/m), also,

ω = 2πf, so that

2πf = √(k/m)

If we square both sides, then

4π²f² = k/m

k = 4π²f²m if we substitute, we have

k = 4 * 3.142² * 3.27² * 285

k = 120341 Nm

Since the mass of each person is 68 kg, then the total mass of all passengers would be

68 * 5 = 340 kg

Thus, the total mass of the oscillating system is,

mass of passengers + mass of car

340 kg + 1140 kg

M(total) = 1480 kg

To get the vibrating frequency, we substitute for values in the equation

2πf = √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(k/m)

F = 1/2π * √(120341 / 1480)

F = 1/2π * √81.31

F = 0.1591 * 9

F = 1.432 Hz

The surface tension of water was determined in a laboratory by using the drop weight method. 100 drops were released from a bure
Lapatulllka [165]

Answer:

γ = 0.06563 N / m

9.78% difference

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Surface tension is the ability of any fluid to resist any external force which causes a decreases in surface area of the impact area due to inward compressive forces. These compressive forces occur due to cohesive nature of the fluid molecules.

- Mathematically, surface tension ( γ ) is defined as the force felt per unit length by the fluid.

                           γ = F / L

Where,

              F: Force imparted

              L: The length over which force is felt

- We are given the mass ( M ) of ( n = 100 ) water droplets to e 3.78 g. The mass of a single droplet ( m ) can be evaluated as follows:

                         m = M / n

                         m = 3.78 / 100

                        m = 0.0378 g        

- The force ( F ) imparted by a single drop of water from the burette can be determined from the force balance on a single droplet. Assuming the distance over which the drop falls is negligible and resistive forces are negligible. Then the only force acting on the droplet is due to gravity:

                        F = m*g

                        F = 0.0378*9.81*10^-3

                        F = 0.000370818 N      

- The length over which the force is felt can be magnified into a circular area with diameter equal to that of a single droplet ( d ). The circumferential length ( L ) of the droplet would be as follows:

                        L = π*d

                        L = π*( 0.0018 )

                        L = 0.00565 m

- Then the surface tension would be:

                        γ = F / L

                        γ = 0.000370818 / 0.00565

                        γ = 0.06563 N / m

- The tabulated value of water's surface tension is given as follows:

                       γa = 0.07275 N/m

- We will determine the percentage difference between the value evaluated  and tabulated value as follows:

                     p.diff = \frac{gamma_a - gamma}{gamma_a} * 100\\\\p.diff = \frac{0.07275- 0.06563}{0.07275} * 100 \\\\p.diff = 9.78 %

- The %difference between is within the allowable practical limits of 10%. Hence, the evaluated value ( γ = 0.06563 N / m ) can be accepted with 9.78% error.

Room temperature water is placed in an Erlenmyer flask and heated to the boiling point. After the flask is removed from the heat
Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

When water is boiled in the flask . Some portion of it is evaporated out . Now when cork is placed on it and is placed in the ice box . It cools down , by which the pressure inside decreases .

Due to decrease of pressure , the boiling point of water also decreases . Now it can boil at lower temperature . Thus it starts boiling at lower temperature even , when placed in the ice box .

Why would north america will not be able to view the eclipse
Flauer [41]

The North America will not be able to view the eclipse because of its location on the earth caused by the tilting of the earth.

<h3>Effect of tilting of the Earth</h3>

The tilt of the Earth is what causes seasons to occur. These are the seasons in relation to the Northern Hemisphere.

The tilting of the Earth causes the difference in the amount of sun reaching each region of the earth like in the North America continent.

Thus, the North America will not be able to view the eclipse because of its location on the earth caused by the tilting of the earth.
