A water tower is idealized as a mass M on top of a uniform and massless beam. The bottom end of the beam is fixed to the ground.

The beam has solid circular cross section with a diameter of 1.2 m. Its Young’s modulus is 30 GPa, and its length is 10 m. The mass M is 20 tons. Find the natural frequency and natural period of this system in lateral oscillations.

Answer:

Natural frequency=21.40 Hz

Time= 0.2936 seconds

Explanation:

Idealizing the question as a cantilever beam with point load of mass M as 20 tons

Lateral stiffness, k=\frac {3EI}{l^{3}} where l is length given as 10 m, E is Young’s modulus given as 30GPa and I is inertia where for a circular cross-section is given by \frac {\pi d^{4}}{64}

k=\frac {3*(30*10^{9})*(\pi *1.2^{4})}{64*10^{3}}= 9160884.178

k= 9.160884178*10^{6}

To find the frequency, w_{n}, the mass m is given as 20 tons or 20000 Kg

w_{n}=\sqrt (\frac {k}{m})= \sqrt (\frac {9.160884178*10^{6}}{20000})=21.40196741 Hz

Natural frequency=21.40 Hz

Time period,

T=\frac {2\pi}{w_{n}}=\frac {2\pi}{21.40196741}=0.2935798 seconds

T=0.2936 seconds

If a ball is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of 80 ft/s, then its height after t seconds is s = 80t − 16t 2 . (a) what
MAXImum [283]
Max height occurs when v = 0.
v(t) = ds(t)/dt
v(t) = 80 - 32t
0 = 80 - 32t
t = 5/2

s(5/2) = 80(5/2) - 16(5/2)^2
s(5/2) = 100
Answer: 100 ft

96 = 80t - 16t²
t = 3, 2
(80 ± √256) / 32 using the quadratic equation.

v(2) = 16
v(3) = -16

Electromagnetic waves require a medium to transfer energy<br> True or False
Simora [160]

The statemengt is <em>false</em>. Electromgnetic waves do not require a medium to transfer energy. They can transfer energy through vacuum (empty space with nothing in it). If electrimagnetic waves needed a medium to move through from place to place, then we could never see the sun, and also it would get very cold here.

A certain spring stores 10.0J of potential energy when it isstretched by 2.00cm from its equilibrium position.How much potential
qaws [65]

Answer:

Answered

Explanation:

x= 0.02 m

E_p= 10.0 J

E_p= 0.5kx^2

10= 0.5k(0.02)^2

solving we get

K= 50.0 N/m

Now

E'_p= 0.5kx'^2

E'_p= 0.5×50×(0.04)^2

E'_p=40 J

b) potential energy is a scalar quantity and it only depends magnitude and not direction so it will remain same in compression and expansion both

c) 20 J = 0.5×50,000×x^2

solving

x= 0.028 m

d) k is 50.0 N/m  from above calculation
