A 1.50 mwire has a mass of 8.70 gand is under a tension of 120 N. The wire is held rigidly at both ends and set into oscillation. (a) What is the speed of waves on the wire? What is the wavelength of the waves that produce (b) one-loop and (c) two loop standing waves? What is the frequency of the waves that produce (d) one-loop and (e) two-loop standing waves?

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. Speed of wave is 144 m/s
  2. Wavelength that produced by one loop is 3.00 m
  3. Wavelength that produced by two loop is 1.5 m
  4. Frequency of one loop is 48.0 Hz
  5. Frequency of two loop is 96 Hz

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Length of the wire, L=1.50 m

Mass of the wire, m=8.70 g or 0.00870 kg

Tension in the wire, T=120 N

02

Understanding the concept of the wave motion

Use the formula for speed in terms of tension and mass per unit length. To find the wavelength, we use the length of the wire. To find the frequency, use velocity from part (a) and wavelength from part (b) and (c).

Formula:

The speed of a string,v=Tμ..........(1)

The speed of a wave,v=f×λ........(2)

The linear density of a string,μ=mL...........(3)

03

Step 3(a): Calculation of speed of wave

Using equation (3), we get the linear density as follows:

μ=0.00871.5=5.8×10-3kg/m

Now, using the given values in equation (1), we get the speed of the wave as:

v=1205.8×10-3=143.83ms≈144m/s

Hence, the value of the speed is 144 m/s

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of wavelength for one-loop wave

Now the wavelength for one loop standing wave is given as:

λ1=L×2=1.5×2=3.00m

Hence, the value of wavelength for one-loop wave is 3.00 m

05

Step 5(c): Calculation of wavelength for two-loop wave

Now for two loop standing wave

λ2=L=1.5m

Hence, the value of wavelength for two loops is 1.5 m

06

Step 6(d): Calculation of frequency of one-loop wave

Now, using equation (2) and given values, we get the frequency of one loop as:

144=f1×3f1=48.0Hz

Hence, the value of frequency for one loop is 48.0 Hz

07

Step 7(e): Calculation of frequency of two-loop wave

Now, frequency of two loop using equation (2) and the given values is given as:

144=f2×1.5f2=96Hz

Hence, the value of frequency of two-loop wave is 96 Hz

Figure 16-26 shows three waves that are separatelysent along a string that is stretched under a certain tension along an xaxis. Rank the waves according to their (a) wavelengths, (b) speeds, and (c) angular frequencies, greatest first.

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

In Figure 16-36 (a), string 1 has a linear density of 3.00 g/m, and string 2 has a linear density of 5.00 g/m. They are under tension due to the hanging block of mass M = 500 g. (a)Calculate the wave speed on string 1 and (b) Calculate the wave speed on string 2. (Hint:When a string loops halfway around a pulley, it pulls on the pulley with a net force that is twice the tension in the string.) Next the block is divided into two blocks (with M1+M2=M) and the apparatus is rearranged as shown in Figure (b). (c) Find M1and (d) Find M2such that the wave speeds in the two strings are equal.

A wave on a string is described by y(x,t)=15.0sin(Ï€x/8-4Ï€t), where xand yare in centimeters and tis in seconds.

(c) What is the magnitude of the transverse acceleration for a point on the string at x = 6.00 cm when t = 0.250 s? (d) What is the magnitude of the maximum transverse acceleration for any point on the string?

A stretched string has a mass per unit length of5.00 g/cmand a tension of 10.0N. A sinusoidal wave on this string has amplitude of 0.12mmand a frequency of 100 Hzand is traveling in the negative direction of an xaxis. If the wave equation is of the form y(x,t)=ymsin(kx±Ӭ³Ù), (a)What is ym, (b)What is k , (c)What is Ó¬, and (d)What is the correct choice of sign in front of Ó¬?
