Answer:

   μ = 0.37

Explanation:

For this exercise we must use the translational and rotational equilibrium equations.

We set our reference system at the highest point of the ladder where it touches the vertical wall. We assume that counterclockwise rotation is positive

let's write the rotational equilibrium

           W₁  x/2 + W₂ x₂ - fr y = 0

where W₁ is the weight of the mass ladder m₁ = 30kg, W₂ is the weight of the man 700 N, let's use trigonometry to find the distances

             cos 60 = x / L

where L is the length of the ladder

              x = L cos 60

            sin 60 = y / L

           y = L sin60

the horizontal distance of man is

            cos 60 = x2 / 7.0

            x2 = 7 cos 60

we substitute

         m₁ g L cos 60/2 + W₂ 7 cos 60 - fr L sin60 = 0

         fr = (m1 g L cos 60/2 + W2 7 cos 60) / L sin 60

let's calculate

         fr = (30 9.8 10 cos 60 2 + 700 7 cos 60) / (10 sin 60)

         fr = (735 + 2450) / 8.66

         fr = 367.78 N

the friction force has the expression

         fr = μ N

write the translational equilibrium equation

         N - W₁ -W₂ = 0

         N = m₁ g + W₂

         N = 30 9.8 + 700

         N = 994 N

we clear the friction force from the eucacion

        μ = fr / N

        μ = 367.78 / 994

        μ = 0.37

2. A string with a length of 0.9m that is fixed at both ends
aliina [53]

Answer:

2a.) Wavelength = 1.8 m

2b.) F = 66.67 Hz

3a.) Find the attached file

3b.) Wavelength = 0.6 m

Explanation:

Given that the

Length L = 0.9m

Wavelength (λ) = 2L/n

Where n = number of harmonic

If n = 1, then

Wavelength (λ) = 2L = 2 × 0.9 = 1.8 m

b.)

 If waves travel at a speed of 120m/s on this string, what is the frequency

associated with the longest wave (first harmonic)?

Given that V = 120 m/s

V = Fλ

But λ = 2L, therefore,

F = V/2L

F = 120/1.8

F = 66.67 Hz

3. b.) If there are two node, the position will be in 3rd position which is 3rd harmonic

Using the same formula,

Wavelength (λ) = 2L/n

Where n = 3

Wavelength (λ) = 2 × 0.9/3

Wavelength (λ) = 0.6 m

a 1020-hertz sound wave travels at 340 m/s in air with a wavelength of a) 30 m. b) 3 m. c) 0.333 m. d) 1 m. e) none of the above
eimsori [14]

The wavelength of the sound wave is equal to 0.333 m. Therefore, option (c) is correct.

<h3>What are frequency and wavelength?</h3>

The frequency of the wave can be defined as the number of oscillations that occur in one second and can be expressed in hertz. The wavelength can be defined as the distance between the two adjacent points of a wave such as two crests or troughs.

The relationship between frequency (ν), speed of sound waves (V), and  wavelength (λ):

V = νλ

Given, the frequency of the sound wave, ν = 10 Hz

The speed of the sound wave,V = 340 m/s

The wavelength of the sound waves can determine as follows

λ = V/ν = 340/1020 = 0.333 m.

Therefore, the wavelength of the sound wave is 0.333 m
