A young kid of mass m = 36 kg is swinging on a swing. The length from the top of the swing set to the seat is L = 3.5 m. The boy

lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

mass of boy=36 kg

length of swing=3.5 m

Let T be the tension in the swing

At top point $mg-T=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

where v=velocity needed to complete circular path

Th-resold velocity is given by $mg-0=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$v=\sqrt{gr}=\sqrt{9.8\times 3.5}=5.85 m/s$

So apparent weight of boy will be zero at top when it travels with a velocity of $v=\sqrt{gr}$

To get the velocity at bottom conserve energy at Top and bottom

At top $E_T=mg\times 2L+\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Energy at Bottom $E_b=\frac{mv_0^2}{2}$

Comparing two as energy is conserved

$v_0^2=4gl+gl$

$v_0^2=5gL$

$v_0=\sqrt{5gL}=13.09 m/s$

Apparent weight at bottom is given by

$W=\frac{mv_0^2}{L}-mg=\frac{36\times 13.09^2}{3.5}+36\times 9.8=2115.23 N$

One of the harmonics on a string 1.30m long has a frequency of 15.60 Hz. The next higher harmonic has a frequency of 23.40 Hz. F

Alja [10]

Answer:

$\large \boxed{\text{(a) 7.800 Hz; (b) 20.3 m/s; 40.6 m/s; 60.8 m/s}}$

Explanation:

a) Fundamental frequency

A harmonic is an integral multiple of the fundamental frequency.

$\dfrac{\text{23.40 Hz}}{\text{15.60 Hz}} = \dfrac{1.500}{1} \approx \dfrac{3}{2}$

$f = \dfrac{\text{24.30 Hz}}{3} = \textbf{7.800 Hz}$

b) Wave speed

(i) Calculate the wavelength

In a fundamental vibration, the length of the string is half the wavelength.

$\begin{array}{rcl}L & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\text{1.30 m} & = & \dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\\lambda & = & \text{2.60 m}\\\end{array}$

(b) Calculate the speed s

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{1}& = & f_{1}\lambda\\& = & \text{7.800 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{20.3 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{2}& = & f_{2}\lambda\\& = & \text{15.60 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{40.6 m/s}\\\end{array}$

$\begin{array}{rcl}v_{3}& = & f_{3}\lambda\\& = & \text{23.40 s}^{-1} \times \text{2.60 m}\\& = & \textbf{60.8 m/s}\\\end{array}$
