Particles vibrate parallel to the direction the sound travels. It's a longitudinal wave.
Using lens equation;
1/o + 1/i = 1/f; where o = Object distance, i = image distance (normally negative), f = focal length (normally negative)
Substituting;
1/o + 1/-30 = 1/-43 => 1/o = -1/43 + 1/30 = 0.01 => o = 1/0.01 = 99.23 cm
Therefore, the object should be place 99.23 cm from the lens.
Answer:
a. 
b. 
Explanation:
I have attached an illustration of a solid disk with the respective forces applied, as stated in this question.
Forces applied to the solid disk include:

Other parameters given include:
Mass of solid disk, 
and radius of solid disk, 
a.) The formula for determining torque (
), is 
Hence the net torque produced by the two forces is given as a summation of both forces:

b.) The angular acceleration of the disk can be found thus:
using the formula for the Moment of Inertia of a solid disk;

where
= Mass of solid disk
and
= radius of solid disk
We then relate the torque and angular acceleration (
) with the formula:

For the first part of this question, consider that "weight" can be described as mass x acceleration of gravity. Weight is expressed in Newtons. To solve for mass in this case, simply divide 9800N by 9.8m/s^2 (Earth's gravitational acceleration). This will give you a mass of 1000 kg. This mass is moved due to the net force supplied by the normal force from the rocket "pushing" off of Earth.
For the second part, we will use the equation F = ma, which is Newton's second law. For this, we know the m, or mass, is 1000 kg. Also, we know the a, or acceleration, will be 4 m/s^2. To solve for force, we will multiply both of these values. This gives a force of 4000 N. I hope this clears things up!
