To solve this exercise it is necessary to take into account the concepts related to Tensile Strength and Shear Strenght.
In Materials Mechanics, generally the bodies under certain loads are subject to both Tensile and shear strenghts.
By definition we know that the tensile strength is defined as

Where,
Tensile strength
F = Tensile Force
A = Cross-sectional Area
In the other hand we have that the shear strength is defined as

where,
Shear strength
Shear Force
Parallel Area
PART A) Replacing with our values in the equation of tensile strenght, then

Resolving for F,

PART B) We need here to apply the shear strength equation, then



In such a way that the material is more resistant to tensile strength than shear force.
Answer:
The wave speed is calculated below:
Explanation:
Given,
number of waves passed per minute = 8
time period = 1 minute = 60 s
distance between successive wave crests = 20 m
waves passing interval per second =

Now,
wave speed = 20 m ×

=
m/s
= 2.67 m/s
Hence the wave speed is 2.67 m/s.
Because glass is not a good heat conductor. What it means is that heat isn't transfered through its structure as quickly as it would with metal, for instance. Because heat can't penetrate glass as quickly, the contents stay at the same temperature for longer.
Gravity
Explanation: ree fall is a special type of motion in which the only force acting upon an object is gravity. Objects that are said to be undergoing free fall, are not encountering a significant force of air resistance; they are falling under the sole influence of gravity.
