A long string is pulled so that the tension in it increases by a factor of four. If the change in length is negligible, by what

rusak2 [61]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to wave velocity as a function of the tension and linear mass density. This is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$

Here

v = Wave speed

T = Tension

$\mu$ = Linear mass density

From this proportion we can realize that the speed of the wave is directly proportional to the square of the tension

$v \propto \sqrt{T}$

Therefore, if there is an increase in tension of 4, the velocity will increase the square root of that proportion

$v \propto \sqrt{4} = 2$

The factor that the wave speed change is 2.

If the work done to stretch an ideal spring by 4.0 cm is 6.0 j, what is the spring constant (force constant) of this spring?

Alisiya [41]

Answer:

The spring constant is 3750 N/m

Explanation:

Use the following two relationships:

(Work) = (Force) x (Displacement)

(Force) = (Spring constant) x (Displacement)

(Spring constant) = (Force) / (Displacement) = (Work) / (Displacement)^2

(Spring constant) = 6.0 kg.(m^2/s^2) / 0.0016 m^2 = 3750 N/m

The spring constant is 3750 N/m

A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

$v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

$v= \lambda f$ (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

$\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}$ = $\lambda f$

Solving for T

$T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L}$ (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic $N_{harmonic}$ is:

$\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}$

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

$\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m$

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

$T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}$

$T=75.22 N$
