Two long, straight wires are parallel and 20 cm apart. One carries a current of 2.2 A, the other a current of 5.9 A. (a) If the

two currents flow in opposite directions, what is the magnitude (in N/m) and direction of the force per unit length of one wire on the other

Answer: 1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

Explanation:

Given

Current in the first wire I_1=2.2\ A

Current in the second wire I_2=5.9\ A

wires are 20\ cm apart

Force per unit length between the current-carrying wires is

\Rightarrow \dfrac{F}{l}=\dfrac{\mu_oI_1I_2}{2\pi r}

Force exerted  by the wires is the same

Put the values

\Rightarrow \frac{F}{l}=f=\dfrac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times 2.2\times 5.9}{2\pi \times 0.2}=1.298\times 10^{-5}\ N/m

This force will be repulsive in nature as the current is flowing opposite

If the second harmonic of a certain string is 42 Hz, what is the fundamental frequency of the string?
sdas [7]
Data:
f_{2} = 42 Hz
n (Wave node)
V (Wave belly) 
L (Wave length)
<span>The number of bells is equal to the number of the harmonic emitted by the string.
</span>
f_{n} =  \frac{nV}{2L}

Wire 2 → 2º Harmonic → n = 2

f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{2} = \frac{2V}{2L} &#10;
2V =  f_{2} *2L
V =  \frac{ f_{2}*2L }{2}
V =  \frac{42*2L}{2}
V =  \frac{84L}{2}
V = 42L

Wire 1 → 1º Harmonic or Fundamental rope → n = 1


f_{n} = \frac{nV}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{1V}{2L}
f_{1} =  \frac{V}{2L}

If, We have:
V = 42L
Soon:
f_{1} = \frac{V}{2L}
f_{1} = \frac{42L}{2L}
\boxed{f_{1} = 21 Hz}

Answer:

<span>The fundamental frequency of the string:
</span>21 Hz

What is the mass moment of inertia of a 20kg sphere with a radius of 0.2m about a point on the sphere's perimeter
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

I = M R^2 is the moment of inertia about a point that is a distance R from the center of mass (uniform distributed mass).

The moment  of inertia about the center of a sphere is 2 / 5 M R^2.

By the parallel axis theorem the moment of inertia about a point on the rim of the sphere is  I = 2/5 M R^2 + M R^2 = 7/5 M R^2

I = 7/5 * 20 kg * .2^2 m = 1.12 kg m^2
