Clever problem.
We know that the beat frequency is the DIFFERENCE between the frequencies of the two tuning forks. So if Fork-A is 256 Hz and the beat is 6 Hz, then Fork-B has to be EITHER 250 Hz OR 262 Hz. But which one is it ?
Well, loading Fork-B with wax increases its mass and makes it vibrate SLOWER, and when that happens, the beat drops to 5 Hz. That means that when Fork-B slowed down, its frequency got CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A ... their DIFFERENCE dropped from 6 Hz to 5 Hz.
If slowing down Fork-B pushed it CLOSER to the frequency of Fork-A, then its natural frequency must be ABOVE Fork-A.
The natural frequency of Fork-B, after it gets cleaned up and returns to its normal condition, is 262 Hz. While it was loaded with wax, it was 261 Hz.
1.8 is the mechanical advantage of the lever.
<h3>Definition of mechanical advantage</h3>
The theoretical mechanical advantage of a system is the ratio of the force that performs the useful work to the force applied, assuming there is no friction in the system.
The advantage gained by the use of a mechanism in transmitting force specifically the ratio of the force that performs the useful work of a machine to the force that is applied to the machine.
Mechanical advantage is given by the ratio of the load lifted to the force applied to lift the load.
In this case, Mechanical advantage=L/E where L is the load and E is the effort applied.
Mechanical advantage= 90/50 =1.8
Question-you use a lever to lift a heavy tree branch. you apply a force of 50 n and the lever lifts the branch with a force of 90 n. what is the mechanical advantage of the lever?

Answer:
<em>2.78m/s²</em>
Explanation:
Complete question:
<em>A box is placed on a 30° frictionless incline. What is the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline when the co-efficient of friction is 0.25?</em>
According to Newton's second law of motion:
Where:
is the coefficient of friction
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Fm is the moving force acting on the body
Ff is the frictional force
m is the mass of the box
a is the acceleration'
Given
Required
acceleration of the box
Substitute the given parameters into the resulting expression above:
Recall that:
9.8sin30 - 0.25(9.8)cos30 = ax
9.8(0.5) - 0.25(9.8)(0.866) = ax
4.9 - 2.1217 = ax
ax = 2.78m/s²
<em>Hence the acceleration of the box as it slides down the incline is 2.78m/s²</em>
Answer:
Explanation:
We are given that
The wavelength of sound wave=
1 cm/s=
Speed of sound wave,v=
We have to find the period of the wave.
We know that
Frequency=
Using the formula
Frequency =
Hz
Time period=
Using identity:
Hence, the time period of the wave=
