Energy is transmitted at rateP1by a wave of frequency f1 on a string under tension τ1. What is the new energy transmission rate P2 in terms ofP1(a) if the tension is increased toτ2=4τ1 and (b) if, instead, the frequency is decreased tof2=f1/2?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) New energy transmission P2in terms of P1if the tension is increased to τ2=4τ1is2P1.

b) New energy transmission P2in terms of P1if the frequency is increased tof2=f1/2 isP1/4

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Energy is transferred at rate P1with frequency f1under tension τ1 of the string.

Understanding the concept of the power of waves

We use the concept of the power of waves which involves linear mass density, velocity, angular velocity, and amplitude. Using this equation, we can find the relation between power and tension, and frequency. Then, we can find the new power in terms of initial power by taking the ratio.

Formulae:

The power rate of a body in motion,P=12μvӬ2ym2..............(1)

The velocity of the string, v=τμ.............(2)

03

Step 3(a): Calculation of power if tension is increased

If the tension is increased toτ2=4τ1

Plugging the values of velocity from equation (2) in equation (1), we get the power as:

P=12μτμ2Ï€´Ú2ym2=12μτ4Ï€2f2ym2

Here,andare the variables and the remaining terms are constant terms, so the power is directly proportional to the tension and frequency. We can write, the power of two waves as given:

P1=12μτ14π2f2ym2...............(3)

Since,, we can write,

role="math" localid="1660983254149" P2=12μτ24π2f2ym2=212μτ14π2f2ym2=2P1fromequation1

Hence, the required value of power is2P1

Step 4(b): Calculation of power if frequency is decreased

New energy transmission P2in terms of P1if the frequency is decreased to f2=f12:

If the tension is the same but frequency is halved, we can write the power of two waves as given:

P1=12μτ4π2f12ym2...............(4)P2=12μτ4π2f22ym2=12μτf1224π2f2ym2=1412μτ4π2f12ym2=P14

Hence, the required value of power isP14
