51. As you enter a fine restaurant, you realize that you
have accidentally brought a small electronic timer from
home instead of your cell phone. In frustration, you
drop the timer into a side pocket of your suit coat, not
realizing that the timer is operating. The arm of your
chair presses the light cloth of your coat against your
body at one spot. Fabric with a length L hangs freely
below that spot, with the timer at the bottom. At one
point during your dinner, the timer goes off and a
buzzer and a vibrator turn on and off with a frequency
of 1.50 Hz. It makes the hanging part of your coat swing
back and forth with remarkably large amplitude, draw-
ing everyone's attention. Find the value of L.
Determine the peak to peak amplitude for a given sinusoidal expression x(t)= 8 sin(6TTt+45°) where x represent the displacement in m.

Imagine that a geologist is measuring the seismic waves produced by a volcano using two seismographs, one 12 kilometers and another 17 kilometers from the volcano. During one volcano earthquake, the waves feel like the rocking of a boat at a frequency of 1.5 Hz and an amplitude of about 1 centimeter. The geologist later notices that the closer seismograph registered the waves about 0.85 seconds sooner than the other. What was the approximate wavelength of the waves during the episode?

The architect plans to have a large rectangular water basin as part of his design. When you see this design, you mention to the architect that the project is located in an area prone to earthquakes. You point out that an earthquake could create a seiche in the basin by resonance, causing the water in the basin to spill out and enter nearby underground electrical transformers. A seiche is a standing wave in a body of water, in which the water sloshes back and forth with antinodes at the ends of the basin. (You may have created a seiche in a bathtub as a child by sliding your body back and forth along the length of the tub, leaving water on the floor for your parents to wipe up.) The architect dismisses your comments as unrealistic. While visiting your cousin the previous week in a non-carthquake-prone area, you had seen a water basin similar to the one planned by the architect. You call your cousin and find out that the water basin in his town has the same depth of water as that planned by the architect. You ask your cousin to create a pulse in the water by dropping a pebble, and determine how long the pulse takes to cross the basin. Based on this time interval and the length of your cousins basin, you determine that a pulse will take 2.50 s to cross the basin planned by the architect. Show the architect that there will be several possible seiche resonances in the water basin for typical low frequencies of earthquakes in the range of 04 Hz.arrow_forwardA 2.1kg , 20cm-diameter turntable rotates at 130rpm on frictionless bearings.
