Two children are balanced on a seesaw that has a mass of 18.0 kg. The first child has a mass of 26.0 kg and sits 1.60 m from the
1 answer:
Answer:
1.28 m
Explanation:
As shown in the diagram attached,
According to the principle of moment,
For a body at equilibrium,
Sum of clockwise moment = sum of anticlockwise moment.
Taking moment about the pivot,
W₁(1.6)+W(0.133) = W₂(x)............... Equation 1
Where W₁ = Weight of the first child, Wₓ = Weight of the seesaw, W₂ = weight of the second child, x = distance of the second child from the pivot.
But,
W = mg
Where g = 9.8 m/s², m = mass of the body
Therefore,
W₁ = 26×9.8 = 254.8 N,
Wₓ = 18×9.8 = 176.4 N
W₂ = 34.4×9.8 = 337.12 N
Substitute these values into equation 1
(254.8×1.6)+(176.4×0.133) = 337.12(x)
407.68+23.4612 = 337.12x
337.12x = 431.1412
x = 431.1412/337.12
x = 1.2789
x ≈ 1.28 m

Answer:
The tension is 75.22 Newtons
Explanation:
The velocity of a wave on a rope is:
(1)
With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.
Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:
(2)
We can equate expression (1) and (2):
=
Solving for T
(3)
For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic is:
It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:
We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:
<h2>Answer: decibels
</h2>
The decibel is the relation between two values: the pressure produced by a sound wave and a pressure taken as a reference. Resulting in a dimensionless value.
It should be noted that itself<u> is not a unit of measure</u>, since in reality the unit is bel (which <u>is not part of the International System of Units</u>) in honor of Alexander Graham Bell.
However, given the amplitude of the measured elements in practice, its submultiple, the decibel, is used. That is, this quotient is a logarithmic expression, where
