The other 4 kg of mass may have departed the scene
of the fire, in the form of gases and smoke particles.
Answer:
200 N = 200 Newtons
Explanation:
Just use the formula F = m*a
F = Force in Newtons
m = mass and is 20 kg
a = acceleration and is 10 m/s^2
F = 20 * 10
F = 200 Newtons.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of linear mass density, and the expression of the wavelength with which we can find the frequency of the string. With these values it will be possible to find the voltage value. Later we will apply concepts related to harmonic waves in order to find the fundamental frequency.
The linear mass density is given as,



The expression for the wavelength of the standing wave for the second overtone is

Replacing we have


The frequency of the sound wave is



Now the velocity of the wave would be



The expression that relates the velocity of the wave, tension on the string and linear mass density is





The tension in the string is 547N
PART B) The relation between the fundamental frequency and the
harmonic frequency is

Overtone is the resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency. The second overtone is the second resonant frequency after the fundamental frequency. Therefore

Then,

Rearranging to find the fundamental frequency



The density of an object can be calculated using the formula Density = Mass/Volume. In this case however we are searching for the volume and must rearrange the formula so that we are solving for the volume. If you multiply both sides by volume and then divide both sides by mass you end up with the equation Volume = Mass/Density.
Volume = 1500g/1.5g/cm^3
Volume = 1000 cm^3
