Answer:
The transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.
Explanation:
let T = 2.96×10^4 N be the tension in in the steel cable, ρ = 7860 kg/m^3 is the density of the steel and A = 4.49×10^-3 m^2 be the cross-sectional area of the cable.
then, if V is the volume of the cable:
ρ = m/V
m = ρ×V
but V = A×L , where L is the length of the cable.
m = ρ×(A×L)
m/L = ρ×A
then the speed of the wave in the cable is given by:
v = √(T×L/m)
= √(T/A×ρ)
= √[2.96×10^4/(4.49×10^-3×7860)]
= 25.5 m/s
Therefore, the transverse wave will travel with a speed of 25.5 m/s along the cable.
The electric potential at point A in the electric field= 0.099 x 10 ⁻¹v
<u>Explanation</u>:
Given data,
charge = 5.5 x 10¹² C
k =9.00 x 10⁹
The electric potential V of a point charge can found by,
V= kQ / r
Assuming, r=5.00×10⁻² m
V= 5.5 x 10⁻¹²C x 9.00 x 10⁹ / 5.00×10⁻² m
V= 49.5 x 10⁻³/ 5.00×10⁻²
Electric potential V= 0.099 x 10⁻¹v
