Answer:
1.045 m from 120 kg
Explanation:
m1 = 120 kg
m2 = 420 kg
m = 51 kg
d = 3 m
Let m is placed at a distance y from 120 kg so that the net force on 51 kg is zero.
By use of the gravitational force
Force on m due to m1 is equal to the force on m due to m2.
3 - y = 1.87 y
3 = 2.87 y
y = 1.045 m
Thus, the net force on 51 kg is zero if it is placed at a distance of 1.045 m from 120 kg.
When crest of one wave interferes with the trough of other wave, the amplitude of the resultant wave formed is less. Hence the type of interference is destructive interference.
Dispersion occurs due to the different degrees of refraction experienced by different colours of light. Light of different colours may travel with the same speed in a vacuum, but they travel at different speeds in some refracting medium. The speed of violet light is relatively lower than that of red light.
