If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind.

The air pressure variations in the vortexes tend to cause the line to oscillate (gallop), especially if the frequency of the variations matches a resonant frequency of the line. In long lines, the resonant frequencies are so close that almost any wind speed can set up a resonant mode vigorous enough to pull down support towers or cause the line to short out with an adjacent line. If a transmission line has a length of 347 m, a linear density of 4.35 kg/m, and a tension of 65.4 MN, what are (a) the frequency of the fundamental mode and (b) the frequency difference between successive modes

Answer:

a) f_1=5.587Hz

b) f_{n+1}-f_n=5.587Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of the n^{th} harmonic of a vibrating string of length <em>L, </em>linear density \mu under a tension <em>T</em> is given by the formula:

f_n=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}

a) So for the <em>fundamental mode</em> (n=1) we have, substituting our values:

f_1=\frac{1}{2(347m)} \sqrt{\frac{65.4\times10^6N}{4.35kg/m}}=5.587Hz

b) The <em>frequency difference</em> between successive modes is the fundamental frequency, since:

f_{n+1}-f_n=\frac{n+1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}-\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=(n+1-n)\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=f_1=5.587Hz

While a roofer is working on a roof that slants at 39.0 degrees above the horizontal, he accidentally nudges his 88.0 N toolbox,
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

V= 6.974 m/s

Explanation:

Component( box) weight acting parallel and down roof 88(sin39.0°)=55.4 N

Force of kinetic friction acting parallel and up roof = 18.0 N

Fnet force acting on tool box acting parallel and down roof

Fnet= 55.4 - 18.0

Fnet=37.4 N

acceleration of tool box down roof

a = 37.4(9.81)/88.0

a= 4.169 m/s²

d = 4.90 m

t = √2d/a

t= √2(4.90)/4.169

t= 1.662 s

V = at

V= 4.169(1.662)

V= 6.974 m/s

solmaris [256]
There are two ways to find energy. Energy=F*d=mv^2. We can use this relationship to find v:
Fd=0.5mv^{2} \\ 80*4=0.5*10v^{2} \\ 64=v^{2} \\ v=8 m/s

A person wearing a shoulder harness can survive a car crash if the acceleration is smaller than -300 m/s . assuming constant acc
mars1129 [50]

To solve this problem, we use the equation:

<span>d = (v^2  - v0^2) / 2a</span>

 

where,

d = distance of collapse

v0 = initial velocity = 101 km / h = 28.06 m / s

v = final velocity = 0

a = acceleration = - 300 m / s^2

 

d = (-28.06 m / s)^2 / (2 * - 300 m / s^2)

<span>d = 1.31 m</span>
