[FREE SOLUTION] | 91影视

A 1750-N irregular beam is hanging horizontally by its ends from the ceiling by two vertical wires (A and B), each 1.25 m long and weighing 0.290 N. The center of gravity of this beam is one-third of the way along the beam from the end where wire A is attached. If you pluck both strings at the same time at the beam, what is the time delay between the arrival of the two pulses at the ceiling? Which pulse arrives first?(Ignore the effect of the weight of the wires on the tension in the wires).

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, the time delay is \(0.00216034\;s\) and the pulse A arrives first.

Step by step solution

01

Given in the question

Support of Beam \(A = \frac{2}{3} \times 1750\;N = 1166.6\;N\)

Support of Beam \(A = \frac{1}{3} \times 1750\;N = 583.3\;N\).

Mass of each wire \(m = \frac{{0.260}}{{9.8}} = 0.02653\;kg\)

Linear density \(U = \frac{{0.02653}}{{1.20}} = 0.0221\;{\rm{kg/m}}\)

02

Use formula of speed

The speed of transverse waves on a string depends on the tension and mass per unit length. It is given by:

\(V = \sqrt {\frac{T}{U}} \)

Here, \(T\) is tension, \(U\) is linear density.

03

Time delay between the arrival of the two pulses at the ceiling

The speed of beam A is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{V_A} = \sqrt {\frac{T}{U}} \\ = \sqrt {\frac{{1166.6}}{{0.0221}}} \\ = 229.75\;{\rm{m/s}}\end{array}\)

The speed of beam B is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{V_B} = \sqrt {\frac{T}{U}} \\ = \sqrt {\frac{{583.3}}{{0.0221}}} \\ = 162.44\;{\rm{m/s}}\end{array}\)

Now, time for beam A is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{t_A} = \frac{d}{{{V_A}}}\\ = \frac{{1.2}}{{229.75}}\\ = 0.00522306\;{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

Time for beam B is:

\(\begin{array}{c}{t_B} = \frac{d}{{{V_B}}}\\ = \frac{{1.2}}{{162.44}}\\ = 0.00738734\;{\rm{s}}\end{array}\)

Thus, the time delay is calculated as:

\(\begin{array}{c}t = {t_B} - {t_A}\\ = 0.00738734\;{\rm{s}}\; - {\rm{0}}{\rm{.00522306}}\;{\rm{s}}\\ = 0.00216034\;s\end{array}\)

The pulse A arrives first.

Hence, the time delay is \(0.00216034\;s\) and the pulse A arrives first.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Stars other than our sun normally appear featureless when viewed through telescopes. Yet astronomers can readily use the light from these stars to determine that they are rotating and even measure the speed of their surface. How do you think they can do this?

For sound waves in air with frequency 1000 Hz, a displacement amplitude of 1.2 x 108 m produces a pressure amplitude of 3.0 脳 10-虏 Pa. Water at 20掳C has a bulk modulus of 2.2 x 10鈦 Pa, and the speed of sound in water at this temperature is 1480 m/s. For 1000-Hz sound waves in 20掳C water, what displacement amplitude is produced if the pressure amplitude is 3.0 x 102 Pa? Explain why your answer is much less than 1.2 x 10-8 m.

How fast (as a percentage of light speed) would a star have to be moving so that the frequency of the light we receive from it is 10.0% higher than the frequency of the light it is emitting? Would it be moving away from us or toward us? (Assume it is moving either directly away from us or directly toward us.)

A horizontal wire is stretched with a tension of 94.0 N, and the speed of transverse waves for the wire is 406 m/s. What must the amplitude of a traveling wave of frequency 69.0 Hz be for the average power carried by the wave to be 0.365 W?

If you wait at a railroad crossing as a train approach and passes, you hear a Doppler shift in its sound. But if you listen closely, you hear that the change in frequency is continuous; it does not suddenly go from one high frequency to another low frequency. Instead the frequency smoothly (but rather quickly) changes from high to low as the train passes. Why does this smooth change occur?
