Answer:
(i) The wavelength is 0.985 m
(ii) The frequency of the wave is 36.84 Hz
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the string, m = 0.0133 kg
tensional force on the string, T = 8.89 N
length of the string, L = 1.97 m
Velocity of the wave is:
(i) The wavelength:
Fourth harmonic of a string with two nodes, the wavelength is given as,
L = 2λ
λ = L/2
λ = 1.97 / 2
λ = 0.985 m
(ii) Frequency of the wave is:
v = fλ
f = v / λ
f = 36.29 / 0.985
f = 36.84 Hz
Answer:
Toward the centre of the circular path
Explanation:
The can is moved in a circular path: this means that it is moving by circular motion (uniform circular motion if its tangential speed is constant).
In order to keep a circular motion, an object must have a force that pushes it towards the centre of the circular trajectory: this force is called centripetal force, and its magnitude is given by
where m is the mass of the object, v its tangential speed, r the radius of the trajectory. This force always points towards the centre of the circular path.
