Step by step solution

01

Given data

Equationofthestandingwave,y(x,t)=0.040(sin5Ï€³æ)(cos40Ï€t)Angularfrequency,Ó¬=40Ï€Wavenumber,k=5Ï€

02

Understanding the concept of node

We can find the location of the nodes with different values of x from the condition that the amplitude of the wave must be zero at that point. We can get the angular speed and wave number and amplitude of the given wave by comparing the given equation of the wave with the general wave equation. Then, from this, we can find the period, speed of the standing wave, and amplitude of the interfered wave using the corresponding relations. From the given displacement of the wave, we can find the expression for its speed. Then, inserting the given conditions we can find the answers for parts g), h) and i).

Formula:

The angular frequency of the wave, Ó¬=2Ï€´Ú..............(1)

The period of an oscillation,T=1f............(2)

The velocity of a wave,V=Ó¬k............(3)

The general expression of the wave, y=ymsin(kx-Ó¬t).....(4)

03

Step 3(a): Calculation of location of node with the smallest value

The standing wave equation is given as:

y(x,t)=0.040(sin5Ï€³æ)(cos40Ï€t)

Now the nodes will be located where

sin5Ï€³æ=0

For the value of thefunction to be zero, the value for5Ï€³æmust be in the range of0,Ï€,2Ï€,3Ï€........

So, from this we can say that,

Location of the node with the smallest value is given at x=0:

5Ï€³æ=0x=05Ï€=0

Hence, the node is located at 0 m

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of location of node with second smallest value

From, the give range, the location of the node with the second smallest value for x is given as:

5Ï€³æ=Ï€5x=1x=15=0.20m

Hence, the node is located at 0.20 m

05

Step 5(c): Calculation of location of node with third smallest value

From, the give range, the location of the node with the third smallest value for x is given as:

5Ï€³æ=2Ï€5x=2x=25=0.40m

Hence, the location of node is 0.40 m

06

Step 6(d): Calculation of period of oscillation at any point

From equation (1), we get the ration of angular frequency and frequency as:

Ó¬f=2Ï€

But substituting the above equation in equation (2), we get the time period as:

Ó¬T=2Ï€T=2Ï€Ó¬=2Ï€40Ï€=0.05s

Hence, the value of period of oscillation is 0.05 s

07

Step 7(e): Calculation of speed of two waves

We have,

y(x,t)=0.040(sin5Ï€³æ)(cos40Ï€t)

From the above superposition displacement formula of the resultant, we can write the two equations as:

y1=0.020(sin5Ï€³æ)(cos40Ï€t)y2=0.020sin(5Ï€³æ+40Ï€t)

Comparing the given equation of the wave with the general equation of the standing wave we get,

From this we have,

k=5Ï€Ó¬=40Ï€

We also have from equation (iii), we get the speed of the waves is given as:

role="math" localid="1661165909881" V=40Ï€5Ï€=8.0m/s

Hence, the value of the speed is 8.0 m/s.

08

Step 8(f): Calculation of amplitude of the two travelling waves

Comparing the given equation of the wave with the general equation of the standing wave we get,

Amplitude of the standing wave,

ym=0.040m

Amplitude of the two travelling waves in terms of the Amplitude of the standing wave is given as,

role="math" localid="1661166105381" (ym)standingwave=2×(ym)travellingwave(ym)travellingwave=((ym)standingwave)2=0.0402=0.020m

Hence, the value of the amplitude is 0.020 m

09

Step 9(g): Calculation of time when transverse velocity is zero at all points

The transverse velocity of the wave is given as:

u=dydt=d(0.040(sin5Ï€³æ)(cos40Ï€³Ù))dt=-(0.040)×(40Ï€)×sin(5Ï€³æ)×sin(40Ï€t)

The above function will be zero when(40Ï€t)=0

For the value of thefunction to be zero, the value for5Ï€³æmust be in the range of0,Ï€,2Ï€,3Ï€.....

From this we can say that, for the first time, transverse velocity, u to be zero,

40Ï€t=0t=0s

Hence, the first time when transverse velocity is zero is 0 s

10

Step 10(h): Calculation of second time when velocity is zero

For the second time from the given values of phases, transverse velocity to be zero,

40Ï€t=Ï€40t=1t=140=0.025s

Hence, the second time at which transverse velocity is zero is 0.025 s

11

Step 11(i): Calculation of the third time when transverse velocity is zero

For the third time from the given ranges, transverse velocity to be zero,

40Ï€t=2Ï€40t=2t=240=0.05s

Hence, the value of time is 0.05 s

If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind. The air pressure variations in the vortexes tend to cause the line to oscillate (gallop), especially if the frequency of the variations matches a resonant frequency of the line. In long lines, the resonant frequencies are so close that almost any wind speed can set up a resonant mode vigorous enough to pull down support towers or cause the line to short outwith an adjacent line. If a transmission line has a length of 347 m, a linear density of 3.35 kg/m, and a tension of 65.2 MN. What are (a) the frequency of the fundamental mode and (b) the frequency difference between successive modes?
