GO In Fig. 16-42, a string, tied to a sinusoidal oscillator at P and running over a support at Q, is stretched by a block of mass m. Separation L = 1.20 m, linear density µ = 1.6 g/m, and the oscillator frequency f = 120 Hz. The amplitude of the motion at P is small enough for that point to be considered a node. A node also exists at Q. (a) What mass m allows the oscillator to set up the fourth harmonic on the string? (b) What standing wave mode, if any, can be set up if m = 1.00 kg?

- A rope of homogeneous material, of length L= 20.0 m and mass M= 2.0 kg is stretched in the horizontal direction under a tension of 35.0 N. One end of the rope is oscillated transversely, with an amplitude of 0.03 cm and frequency of 15.0 oscillations per second. The initial transverse position of this end at t=0 is yi= 0.015 m, considering the y axis oriented upwards. Which function describes the transverse displacement of a point at a distance x from the oscillating end, after being hit by the wave but before the wave reaches the other end, as shown in the figure? Choose the correct alternative (option are in the image):arrow_forwardIn a demonstration, a 1.2 kg horizontal rope is fixed in place at its two ends (x = 0 and x = 2.0 m) and made to oscillate up and down in the fundamental mode, at frequency 5.0 Hz. At t 0, the point at x = 1.0 m has zero displacement and is moving upward in the positive direction of a y axis with a transverse velocity of 5.0 m/s.What are (a) the amplitude of the motion of that point and (b) the tension in the rope? (c) Write the standing wave equation for the fundamental mode.arrow_forwardA copper wire 2.4 mm in diameter is 3.0 long and is used to suspend a 2.0 kg mass of beam.
