Answer:

Length of longer pendulum = 99.3 cm

Length of shorter pendulum = 82.2 cm

Explanation:

Since the longer pendulum undergoes 10 oscillations in 20 s, its period T = 20 s/10 = 2 s.

From T = 2π√(l/g), the length of the pendulum. l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 2s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (2 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 39.2 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.993 m

= 99.3 cm

Now, for the shorter pendulum to be in step with the longer pendulum, it must have completed some oscillations more than the longer pendulum. Let x be the number of oscillations more in t = 20 s. Let n₁ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum and n₂ = number of oscillations of longer pendulum.

So, n₂ = n₁ + x. Also n₁ = t/T₁ and n₂ = t/T₂ where T₂ = period of shorter pendulum.

t/T₂ = t/T₁ + x

1/T₂ = 1/T₁ + x  (1)

Also, the T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)  (2)

From (1) T₂ = T₁/(T₁ + x) (3)

equating (2) and (3) we have

t/(n₁ + x) = T₁/(T₁ + x)

substituting t = 20 s and n₁ = 10 and T₁ = 2s, we have

20 s/(10 + x) = 2/(2 + x)

10/(10 + x) = 1/(2 + x)

(10 + x)/10 = (2 + x)

(10 + x) = 10(2 + x)

10 + x = 20 + 10x

collecting like terms

10x - x = 20 - 10

9x = 10

x = 10/9

x = 1.11

x ≅ 1 oscillation

substituting x into (2)

T₂ = t/n₂ = t/(n₁ + x)

= 20/(10 + 1)

= 20/11

= 1.82 s

Since length l = T²g/4π²

substituting T = 1.82 s and g = 9.8 m/s² we have

l = T²g/4π²

= (1.82 s)² × 9.8 m/s² ÷ 4π²

= 32.46 m ÷ 4π²

= 0.822 m

= 82.2 cm

A crane lifts a 1,750 kg mass using a steel cable whose mass per unit length is 0.88 kg/m. What is the speed of transverse waves
Sauron [17]

Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

 =17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

 =139.6m/s

A heavy hall with a mass of 3.5 kg is observed to accelerate
LenKa [72]

Answer:

<h2>21 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 3.5 × 6

We have the final answer as

<h3>21 N</h3>
