A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 600 m and diameter 1.2 cm . As the gondola comes to t

he end of its run, it bumps into the terminal and sends a wave pulse along the cable. It is observed that it took 18 s for the pulse to return. Part A What is the speed of the pulse?

Answer:

v = 66.7 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The length of steel cable, L = 600 m

Diameter = 1.2 cm

It is observed that it took 18 s for the pulse to return.

The time taken to cover 600 m will be :

t = T/2

t = 9 s

Let v be the of the pulse. We know that,

v=\dfrac{L}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{600}{9}\\\\v=66.7\ m/s

So, the speed of the pulse is equal to 66.7 m/s.

Two parallel disks of diameter D 5 0.6 m separated by L 5 0.4 m are located directly on top of each other. Both disks are black
oksian1 [2.3K]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the Stefan-Boltzmann law which establishes that a black body emits thermal radiation with a total hemispheric emissive power (W / m²) proportional to the fourth power of its temperature.

Heat flow is obtained as follows:

Q = FA\sigma\Delta T^4

Where,

F =View Factor

A = Cross sectional Area

\sigma = Stefan-Boltzmann constant

T= Temperature

Our values are given as

D = 0.6m

L = 0.4m\\T_1 = 450K\\T_2 = 450K\\T_3 = 300K

The view factor between two coaxial parallel disks would be

\frac{L}{r_1} = \frac{0.4}{0.3}= 1.33

\frac{r_2}{L} = \frac{0.3}{0.4} = 0.75

Then the view factor between base to top surface of the cylinder becomes F_{12} = 0.26. From the summation rule

F_{13} = 1-0.26

F_{13} = 0.74

Then the net rate of radiation heat transfer from the disks to the environment is calculated as

\dot{Q_3} = \dot{Q_{13}}+\dot{Q_{23}}

\dot{Q_3} = 2\dot{Q_{13}}

\dot{Q_3} = 2F_{13}A_1 \sigma (T_1^4-T_3^4)

\dot{Q_3} = 2(0.74)(\pi*0.3^2)(5.67*10^{-8})(450^4-300^4)

\dot{Q_3} = 780.76W

Therefore the rate heat radiation is 780.76W

Which part of the drum vibrates when it produces sound?
SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Explanation:

For example, when a drum is struck, the flexible skin (sometimes called a membrane) of the drum vibrates. The compression and expansion of the air on either side of the vibrating membrane produces differences in air pressure. The pressure differences generate a sound wave that propagates outward from the drum surface.
