A pendulum is formed by taking a 2.0 kg mass and hanging it from the ceiling using a steel wire with a diameter of 1.1 mm. it is

observed that the wire stretches by 0.05 mm under the weight of the mass. what is the period of oscillation of the pendulum?

Answer: 1.39 s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the following equations:

\frac{\Delta l}{l_{o}}=\frac{F}{AY} (1)

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{l_{o}}{g}} (2)

Where:

\Delta l=0.05 mm=5(10)^{-5} m is the length the steel wire streches (taking into account 1mm=0.001 m)

l_{o} is the length of the steel wire before being streched

F=mg=(2 kg)(9.8 m/s^{2})=19.6 N is the force due gravity (the weight) acting on the pendulum with mass m=2 kg

A is the transversal area of the wire

Y=2(10)^{11} Pa is the Young modulus for steel

T is the period of the pendulum

g=9.8 m/s^{2} is the acceleration due gravity

Knowing this, let's begin by finding A:

A=\pi r^{2}=\pi (\frac{d}{2})^{2}=\pi \frac{d^{2}}{4} (3)

Where d=1.1 mm=0.0011 m is the diameter of the wire

A=\pi \frac{(0.0011 m)^{2}}{4} (4)

A=9.5(10)^{-7}m^{2} (5)

Knowing this area we can isolate l_{o} from (1):

l_{o}=\frac{\Delta l AY}{F} (6)

And substitute l_{o} in (2):

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{\Delta l AY}{F}}{g}} (7)

T=2 \pi \sqrt{\frac{\frac{(5(10)^{-5} m)(9.5(10)^{-7}m^{2})(2(10)^{11} Pa)}{2(10)^{11} Pa}}{9.8 m/s^{2}}} (8)

Finally:

T=1.39 s

Light enters air from water. The angle of refraction will be A. less than the angle of incidence. B. greater than or equal to th
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

E. greater than the angle of incidence.

Explanation:

Snell's law states that:

n_i sin \theta_i = n_r sin \theta_r (1)

where

n_i, n_r are the refractive index of the first and second medium

\theta_i, \theta_r are the angle of incidence and refraction, respectively

For light moving from water to air, we have:

n_i = 1.33 (index of refraction of water)

n_r = 1.00 (index of refraction of air)

Substituting into (1) and re-arranging the equation, we get

\sin \theta_r = \frac{n_i}{n_r} sin \theta_i = 1.33 sin \theta_i

which means that

\theta_r > \theta_i

so, the correct answer is

E. greater than the angle of incidence.
