Two strings with linear densities of 5 g/m are stretched over pulleys, adjusted to have vibrating lengths of 0.50 m, and attache

d to hanging blocks. The block attached to string 1 has a mass of 20 kg and the block attached to string 2 has a mass of M. Listeners hear a beat frequency of 2 Hz when string 1 is excited at its fundamental frequency and string 2 is excited at its third harmonic. What is one possible value for mass M

Answer:

2.18 kg

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave in a stretched string f = n/2L√(T/μ) where n = harmonic number, L = length of string, T = tension = mg where m = mass of object on string and g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and μ = linear density of string.

For string 1, its fundamental frequency f  is when n = 1. So,

f = 1/2L√(T/μ) =  1/2L√(mg/μ)

Now for string 1, L = 0.50 m, m = 20 kg and μ = 5 g/m = 0.005 kg/m

substituting the values of the variables into f, we have

f = 1/2L√(mg/μ)

f = 1/2 × 0.50 m√(20 kg × 9.8 m/s²/0.005 kg/m)

f = 1/1 m√(196 kgm/s²/0.005 kg/m)

f = 1/1 m√(39200 m²/s²)

f = 1/1 m × 197.99 m/s

f = 197.99 /s

f = 197.99 Hz

f ≅ 198 Hz

For string 2, at its third harmonic frequency f'  is when n = 3. So,

f' = 3/2L√(T/μ) =  3/2L√(mg/μ)

Now for string 2, L = 0.50 m, m = M kg and μ = 5 g/m = 0.005 kg/m

substituting the values of the variables into f, we have

f' = 3/2L√(Mg/μ)

f' = 3/2 × 0.50 m√(M × 9.8 m/s²/0.005 kg/m)

f' = 3/1 m√(M1960 m²/s²kg)

f' = 3/1 m√M√(1960 m²/s²kg)

f' = 3/1 m √M × 44.27 m/s√kg

f' = 132.81√M/s√kg

f' = 132.81√M Hz/√kg

Since the frequency of the beat heard is 2 Hz,

f - f' = 2 Hz

So, 198 Hz - 132.81√M Hz/√kg = 2 Hz

132.81√M Hz/√kg = 198 Hz - 2 Hz

132.81√M Hz/√kg = 196 Hz

√M Hz/√kg = 196 Hz/138.81 Hz

√M/√kg = 1.476

squaring both sides,

[√M/√kg] = (1.476)²

M/kg = 2.178

M = 2.178 kg

M ≅ 2.18 kg

A solid uniform cylinder of mass 4.1 kg and radius 0.057 m rolls without slipping at a speed of 0.79 m/s. What is the cylinder’s
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

The cylinder’s total kinetic energy is 1.918 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass = 4.1 kg

Radius = 0.057 m

Speed = 0.79 m/s

We need to calculate the linear kinetic energy

Using formula of linear kinetic energy

K.E_{l}=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E_{l}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times4.1\times(0.79)^2

K.E_{l}=1.279\ J

We need to calculate the rotational kinetic energy

K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times I\omega^2

K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{2}\times mr^2\times(\dfrac{v}{r})^2

K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times m\times v^2

K.E_{r}=\dfrac{1}{4}\times4.1\times(0.79)^2

K.E_{r}=0.639\ J

The total kinetic energy is given by

K.E=K.E_{l}+K.E_{r}

K.E=1.279+0.639

K.E=1.918\ J

Hence, The cylinder’s total kinetic energy is 1.918 J.
