Answer:
Part a)
Part b)
Explanation:
Part a)
For force conditions of two blocks we will have
now from above equations we have
now we know that
now from above equation we have
Part b)
When heavier block is removed and F = 908 N is applied at the end of the string then we have
<em><u>One</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>newton</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>force</u></em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>defined as t</em><em>h</em><em>e</em><em> </em><em>force</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> necessary to provide a mass of one kilogram with an acceleration of one metre per second per second. One newton is equal to a force of 100,000 dynes in the centimetre-gram-second (CGS) system, or a force of about 0.2248 pound </em><em>i</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>f</em><em>o</em><em>o</em><em>t</em><em>-</em><em>p</em><em>o</em><em>u</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em>-</em><em> </em><em>s</em><em>e</em><em>c</em><em>o</em><em>n</em><em>d</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em>.</em>
when wave propagate through the medium the medium particles have two type of possible motions
1) Transverse Waves : here medium particles will move perpendicular to wave propagation and they pull and push perpendicular to the length
2) Longitudinal wave : here medium particles will move to and fro along the length of the medium and the medium particles will push and pull together along the length of the string.
So here in two types of wave motion it will depends on the medium type as well as it will depend on the source how is wave produced.
So the given type of wave in which particles push together and pull apart the wave must be longitudinal wave.
