Here is the rule for see-saws here on Earth, and there is no reason
to expect that it doesn't work exactly the same anywhere else:
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on one side</u>
is equal to
(weight) x (distance from the pivot) <u>on the other side</u>.
That's why, when Dad and Tiny Tommy get on the see-saw, Dad sits
closer to the pivot and Tiny Tommy sits farther away from it.
(Dad's weight) x (short length) = (Tiny Tommy's weight) x (longer length).
So now we come to the strange beings on the alien planet.
There are three choices right away that both work:
<u>#1).</u>
(400 N) in the middle-seat, facing (200 N) in the end-seat.
(400) x (1) = (200) x (2)
<u>#2).</u>
(200 N) in the middle-seat, facing (100 N) in the end-seat.
(200) x (1) = (100) x (2)
<u>#3).</u>
On one side: (300 N) in the end-seat (300) x (2) = <u>600</u>
On the other side:
(400 N) in the middle-seat (400) x (1) = 400
and (100 N) in the end-seat (100) x (2) = 200
Total . . . . . . . . . . . . <u>600</u>
These are the only ones to be identified at Harvard . . . . . . .
There may be many others but they haven't been discarvard.
Answer:
Explanation:
Has an acceleration directed towards center of its path
A steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.the speed of transverse waves on the wire would be 372.77 m/s
<h3>What is a sound wave?</h3>
It is a particular variety of mechanical waves made up of the disruption brought on by the movements of the energy. In an elastic medium like the air, a sound wave travels through compression and rarefaction.
For calculating the wave velocity of the sound waves generated from the piano can be calculated by the formula
V= √F/μ
where v is the wave velocity of the wave travel on the string
F is the tension in the string of piano
μ is the mass per unit length of the string
As given in question a steel piano wire, of length 1.150 m and mass of 4.80 g is stretched under a tension of 580.0 N.
The μ is the mass per unit length of the string would be
μ = 4.80/(1.150×1000)
μ = 0.0041739 kg/m
By substituting the respective values of the tension on the string and the density(mass per unit length) in the above formula of the wave velocity
V= √F/μ
V=√(580/0.0041739)
V = 372.77 m/s
Thus, the speed of transverse waves on the wire comes out to be 372.77 m/s
