Assume the equation x 5 At3 1 Bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having

igomit [66]

Answer:

(a) A = m/s^3, B = m/s.

(b) dx/dt = m/s.

Explanation:

(a)

$x = At^3 + Bt\\m = As^3 + Bs\\m = (\frac{m}{s^3})s^3 + (\frac{m}{s})s$

Therefore, the dimension of A is m/s^3, and of B is m/s in order to satisfy the above equation.

(b) $\frac{dx}{dt} = 3At^2 + B = 3(\frac{m}{s^3})s^2 + \frac{m}{s} = m/s$

This makes sense, because the position function has a unit of 'm'. The derivative of the position function is velocity, and its unit is m/s.

A train at rest emits a sound at a frequency of 1057 Hz. An observer in a car travels away from the sound source at a speed of 2

il63 [147K]

Answer:

993.52 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of sound emitted by the stationery train is 1057 Hz.

The car travels away from the train at 20.6 m/s.

The frequency the observer hears is given by the formula:

$f_o = \frac{v - v_o}{v}f$

where v = velocity of sound = 343 m/s

vo = velocity of observer

f = frequency from source

This phenomenon is known as Doppler's effect.

Therefore:

$f_o = \frac{343 - 20.6}{343} * 1057\\ \\f_o = 322.4 / 343 * 1057\\\\f_o = 993.52 Hz$

The frequency heard by the observer is 993.52 Hz.

A circular rod with a gage length of 3.5 mm and a diameter of 2.8 cmcm is subjected to an axial load of 68 kN . If the modulus o

Crank

To solve this problem, we will apply the concepts related to the linear deformation of a body given by the relationship between the load applied over a given length, acting by the corresponding area unit and the modulus of elasticity. The mathematical representation of this is given as:

$\delta = \frac{PL}{AE}$
