A block of mass m1 = 3.56 kg on a horizontal surface is connected to a mass m2 = 21.8 kg that hangs vertically as shown in the f

igure below. The two blocks are connected by a string of negligible mass passing over a frictionless pulley. The coefficient of kinetic friction between m1 and the horizontal surface is 0.226. Answer both parts to 3 significant figures.
(a) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of the hanging mass? (m/s/s)
(b) Determine the magnitude of the tension in the cord above the hanging mass. (N)

Answer:

a=8.113\ m/s^2\\T=36.768\ N

Explanation:

<u>Dynamics of System of Masses</u>

We are given the characteristics of a system where two masses are connected by a massless string. The acceleration under these conditions is common to both objects. By analyzing the acting forces on each mass, we can find both the common acceleration and tension of the string.

Let's analyze the forces acting upon mass m1: To the right, we have the tension of the string that tries to move it in that direction. Opposite to the intent to move is the friction force to the left. Applying the Newton's second law, we have

T-Fr=m_1.a

Where

Fr=\mu.N=\mu. m_1.g

Thus

T=m_1.a+\mu. m_1.g

Now for the mass m2, in the vertical direction

T-W_2=-m_2.a

Note that the sign of the acceleration is downwards since the mass m1 tends to move to the right and both masses are tied. W2 is the weight of the mass 2, thus

T-m_2.g=-m_2.a

Replacing the value of T obtained above

m_1.a+\mu. m_1.g-m_2.g=-m_2.a

Solving for a

m_1.a+m_2.a=m_2.g-\mu. m_1.g

\displaystyle a=\frac{m_2.g-\mu. m_1.g}{m_1+m_2}

\displaystyle a=\frac{m_2-\mu. m_1}{m_1+m_2}.g

Plugging in the given values:

\displaystyle a=\frac{21.8-0.226\cdot 3.56}{3.56+21.8}.9.8

\boxed{a=8.113\ m/s^2}

Computing the tension of the string

T=3.56\cdot 8.113+0.226\cdot 3.56\cdot 9.8

\boxed{T=36.768\ N}

Describe how you expect the waveform and the sound you hear changes when you hit the tuning fork harder.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

In a tuning fork, two basic qualities of sound are considered, they are

1) The pitch of the waveform: This pitch depends on the frequency of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.

2) The loudness of the waveform: This loudness depends on the intensity of the wave generated by hitting the tuning fork.

Hitting the tuning fork harder will make it vibrate faster, increasing the number of vibrations per second. The number of vibration per second is proportional to the frequency, so hitting the tuning fork harder increase the frequency. From the explanation on the frequency above, we can say that by increasing the frequency the pitch of the tuning fork also increases.

Also, hitting the tuning fork harder also increases the intensity of the wave generated, since the fork now vibrates faster. This increases the loudness of the tuning fork.
