A mass of M-kg rests on a frictionless ramp inclined at 30°. A string with a linear mass density of μ=0.025" kg/m" is attached t

o the M-kg mass. The string passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass and is attached to a hanging mass (m). The system is in static equilibrium. A wave is induced on the string and travels up the ramp.
(a) Show that the mass of M is equal to twice the mass of the hanging mass: M = 2m.
(b) and at what wave speed does the wave travel up the string, if m = 5 kg?

Answer:

44.3 m/s

Explanation:

a) Draw a free body diagram of the mass M.  There are three forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

Normal force N pushing perpendicular to the ramp,

and tension force T pulling parallel up the ramp.

Sum of forces in the parallel direction:

∑F = ma

T − Mg sin 30° = 0

T = Mg sin 30°

T = Mg / 2

Draw a free body diagram of the hanging mass m.  There are two forces:

Weight force mg pulling down,

and tension force T pulling up.

Sum of forces in the vertical direction:

∑F = ma

T − mg = 0

T = mg

Substitute:

mg = Mg / 2

m = M / 2

M = 2m

b) Velocity of a standing wave in a string is:

v = √(T / μ)

T = mg, and m = 5 kg, so T = (5 kg) (9.8 m/s²) = 49 N.  Therefore:

v = √(49 N / 0.025 kg/m)

v = 44.3 m/s

In 3 seconds, a wave generator produces 15 pulses that spread over a distance of 45 centimeters. Calculate its velocity.
NemiM [27]

We don't even need to know how many pulses were produced
in those 3 seconds.

The beginning of the first pulse took 3 seconds to travel
45 centimeters from the generator.

Its speed is    (45 cm) / (3 sec)  =  15 cm/sec.

STOP TO THINK 17.1 Two pulses on a string approach each other at speeds of 1 m/s. What is the shape of the string at t = 6 s?
Vinvika [58]

'The principle of superposition states that when two disturbance occupy the same space at the same time the resulting disturbance is the sum of two disturbances.'

Explanation:

if two pulses are moving towards each other in the same medium and are not disturb by any external force they will approach each other and the point which will be the the sum of their individual displacement or more precisely the point of superposition of both pulses either constructive or destructive depending on the conditions given
