Missing data: the wave number

k=60 cm^{-1}

(a)  z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

For a transverse wave travelling in the positive y-direction and with vibration along the z-direction, the equation of the wave is

z = A sin (ky-\omega t)

where

A is the amplitude of the wave

k is the wave number

\omega is the angular frequency

t is the time

In this situation:

A = 3.0 mm = 0.003 m is the amplitude

k = 60 cm^{-1} = 6000 m^{-1} is the wave number

T = 0.20 s is the period, so the angular frequency is

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{0.20}=31.4 rad/s

So, the wave equation (in meters) is

z = 0.003 sin (6000y-31.4 t)

(b) 0.094 m/s

For a transverse wave, the transverse speed is equal to the derivative of the displacement of the wave, so in this case:

v_t = z' = -A \omega cos (ky-\omega t)

So the maximum transverse wave occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1, therefore the maximum transverse speed must be

v_{t}_{max} =\omega A

where

\omega = 31.4 rad/s\\A = 0.003 m

Substituting,

v_{t}_{max}=(31.4)(0.003)=0.094 m/s

(c) 5.24 mm/s

The wave speed is given by

v=f \lambda

where

f is the frequency of the wave

\lambda is the wavelength

The frequency can be found from the angular frequency:

f=\frac{\omega}{2\pi}=\frac{31.4}{2\pi}=5 Hz

While the wavelength can be found from the wave number:

\lambda = \frac{2\pi}{k}=\frac{2\pi}{6000}=1.05\cdot 10^{-3} m

Therefore, the wave speed is

v=(5)(1.05\cdot 10^{-3} )=5.24 \cdot 10^{-3} m/s = 5.24 mm/s

Semenov [28]

Answer:

f_n=3.75N

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Frictional force F=0.150N

Coefficient of kinetic friction \mu=0.04

Generally the equation for Normal for is mathematically given by

 f_n=\frac{F}{\mu}

Therefore

 f_n=\frac{0.150}{0.04}

 f_n=3.75N

A specimen of steel has a rectangular cross section 20 mm wide and 40 mm thick, an elastic modulus of 207 GPa, and a Poisson’s r
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

There's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Explanation:

We are given;

Shear Modulus;E = 207 GPa = 207 × 10^(9) N/m²

Force;F = 60000 N.

Poisson’s ratio; υ =0.30

We are told width is 20 mm and thickness 40 mm.

Thus;

Area = 20 × 10^(-3) × 40 × 10^(-3)

Area = 8 × 10^(-4) m²

Now formula for shear modulus is;

E = σ/ε_z

Where σ is stress given by the formula Force(F)/Area(A)

While ε_z is longitudinal strain.

Thus;

E = (F/A)/ε_z

ε_z = (F/A)/E

ε_z = (60,000/(8 × 10^(-4)))/(207 × 10^(9))

ε_z = 3.62 × 10^(-4)

Now, formula for lateral strain is;

ε_x = - υ × ε_z

ε_x = -0.3 × 3.62 × 10^(-4)

ε_x = -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Now, change in width is given by;

Δw = w_o × ε_x

Where w_o is initial width = 20 × 10^(-3) m

So; Δw = 20 × 10^(-3) × -1.09 × 10^(-4)

Δw = -2.18 × 10^(-6) m

Negative means the width decreased.

So there's a decrease in width of 2.18 × 10^(-6) m
