Answer:
T=1022.42 N
Explanation:
Given that
l = 32 cm ,μ = 1.5 g/cm
L =2 m ,V= 344 m/s
The pipe is closed so n= 3 ,for first over tone
f= 129 Hz
The tension in the string given as
T = f²(4l²) μ
Now by putting the values
T = f²(4l²) μ
T = 129² x (4 x 0.32²) x 1.5 x 10⁻³ x 100
T=1022.42 N
Answer:
The earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the P wave, v₁ = 8.5 km/s
speed of the S wave, v₂ = 5.5 km/s
The distance traveled by both waves is the same and it is given as;
Δx = v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
let the time taken by the wave with greater speed = t₁
then, the time taken by the wave with smaller speed, t₂ = t₁ + 1.2 min, since it is slower.
v₁t₁ = v₂t₂
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 1.2 min)
v₁t₁ = v₂(t₁ + 72 s)
v₁t₁ = v₂t₁ + 72v₂
v₁t₁ - v₂t₁ = 72v₂
t₁(v₁ - v₂) = 72v₂
The distance traveled is given by;
Δx = v₁t₁
Δx = (8.5)(132)
Δx = 1122 km
Therefore, the earthquake occurred at a distance of 1122 km
