- A nylon string has mass 5.50 g and length L = 86.0 cm. The lower end is tied to the floor, and the upper end is tied to a small set of wheels through a slot in a track on which the wheels move (Fig. P14.56). The wheels have a mass that is negligible compared with that of the string, and they roll without friction on the track so that the upper end of the string is essentially free. At equilibrium, the string is vertical and motionless. When it is carrying a small-amplitude wave, you may assume the string is always under uniform tension 1.30 N. (a) Find the speed of transverse waves on the string. (b) The strings vibration possibilities are a set of standing-wave states, each with a node at the fixed bottom end and an anti-node at the free top end. Find the nodeantinode distances for each of the three simplest states. (c) Find the frequency of each of these states.

- Consider what is shown below. A 20.00-kg mass rests on a frictionless ramp inclined at 45° . A string with a linear mass density of =0.025 kg/m is attached to the 20.00-kg mass. The string passes over a frictionless pulley of negligible mass and is attached to a hanging mass (m). The system is in static equilibrium. A wave is induced on the string and travels up the ramp. (a) What is the mass of the hanging mass (m)? (b) At what wave speed does the wave travel up the string?arrow_forwardA string has a mass of 150 g and a length of 3.4 m. One end of the string is fixed to a lab stand and the other is attached to a spring with a spring constant of ks=100 N/m. The free end of the spring is attached to another lab pole. The tension in the string is maintained by the spring. The lab poles are separated by a distance that stretches the spring 2.00 cm. The string is plucked and a pulse travels along the string. What is the propagation speed of the pulse?arrow_forwardReview. For the arrangement shown in Figure P14.60, the inclined plane and the small pulley are frictionless; the string supports the object of mass M at the bottom of the plane; and the string has mass m. The system is in equilibrium, and the vertical part of the string has a length h. We wish to study standing waves set up in the vertical section of the string. (a) What analysis model describes the object of mass M? (b) What analysis model describes the waves on the vertical part of the string? (c) Find the tension in the string. (d) Model the shape of the string as one leg and the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Find the whole length of the string. (e) Find the mass per unit length of the string. (f) Find the speed of waves on the string. (g) Find the lowest frequency for a standing wave on the vertical section of the string. (h) Evaluate this result for M = 1.50 kg, m = 0.750 g, h = 0.500 m, and θ = 30.0°. (i) Find the numerical value for the lowest frequency for a standing wave on the sloped section of the string.

- A block of mass M is connected to a spring of mass m and oscillates in simple harmonic motion on a frictionless, horizontal track (Fig. P12.69). The force constant of the spring is k, and the equilibrium length is . Assume all portions of the spring oscillate in phase and the velocity of a segment of the spring of length dx is proportional to the distance x from the fixed end; that is, vx = (x/) v. Also, notice that the mass of a segment of the spring is dm = (m/) dx. Find (a) the kinetic energy of the system when the block has a speed v and (b) the period of oscillation. Figure P12.69arrow_forwardA wave on a string is driven by a string vibrator, which oscillates at a frequency of 100.00 Hz and an amplitude of 1.00 cm. The string vibrator operates at a voltage of 12.00 V and a current of 0.20 A. The power consumed by the string vibrator is P=IV . Assume that the string vibrator is 90% efficient at converting electrical energy into the energy associated with the vibrations of the string. The string is 3.00 m long, and is under a tension of 60.00 N. What is the linear mass density of the string?arrow_forwardReview. Consider the apparatus shown in Figure P14.68a, where the hanging object has mass M and the string is vibrating in its second harmonic. The vibrating blade at the left maintains a constant frequency. The wind begins to blow to the right, applying a constant horizontal force on the hanging object. What is the magnitude of the force the wind must apply to the hanging object so that the string vibrates in its first harmonic as shown in Figure 14.68b? Figure P14.68arrow_forward
- A string of a length of 2.00 m with a linear mass density of =0.006 kg/m is attached to the end of a 2.00-m-long string with a linear mass density of =0.012 kg/m. The free end of the higher-density string is fixed to the wall, and a student holds the free end of the low-density string, keeping the tension constant in both strings. The student sends a pulse down the string. Describe what happens at the interface between the two strings.arrow_forwardWine glasses can be set into resonance by moistening your finger and rubbing it around the rim of the glass.
