if zero falls between two significant numbers it becomes significant.
Answer:
A) 138.8g
B)73.97 cm/s
Explanation:
K = 15.5 Kn/m
A = 7 cm
N = 37 oscillations
tn = 20 seconds
A) In harmonic motion, we know that;
ω² = k/m and m = k/ω²
Also, angular frequency (ω) = 2π/T
Now, T is the time it takes to complete one oscillation.
So from the question, we can calculate T as;
T = 22/37.
Thus ;
ω = 2π/(22/37) = 10.5672
So,mass of ball (m) = k/ω² = 15.5/10.5672² = 0.1388kg or 138.8g
B) In simple harmonic motion, velocity is given as;
v(t) = vmax Sin (ωt + Φ)
It is from the derivative of;
v(t) = -Aω Sin (ωt + Φ)
So comparing the two equations of v(t), we can see that ;
vmax = Aω
Vmax = 7 x 10.5672 = 73.97 cm/s
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts of linear mass density, and the expression of the wavelength with which we can find the frequency of the string. With these values it will be possible to find the voltage value. Later we will apply concepts related to harmonic waves in order to find the fundamental frequency.
The linear mass density is given as,



The expression for the wavelength of the standing wave for the second overtone is

Replacing we have


The frequency of the sound wave is



Now the velocity of the wave would be



The expression that relates the velocity of the wave, tension on the string and linear mass density is





The tension in the string is 547N
PART B) The relation between the fundamental frequency and the
harmonic frequency is

Overtone is the resonant frequency above the fundamental frequency. The second overtone is the second resonant frequency after the fundamental frequency. Therefore

Then,

Rearranging to find the fundamental frequency
