Answer:

Explanation:

mass of string = .0125 / 9.8

= 1.275 x 10⁻³ kg

Length of string l = 1.5 m .

m = mass per unit length

= ( .1.275 / 1.5) x 10⁻³ kg/m

m = .85 x 10⁻³ kg/m

wave equation: y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x − 4830 rad/s t)

compare with equation of wave

y(x,t) = Acos(K x − ω t)

ω ( angular velocity ) = 4830 rad/s

k = 172 rad/m

Velocity = ω / k

= 4830/172 m /s

= 28.08 m /s

velocity of wave = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{W}{m } }[/tex]

28.08 = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{W}{.85\times10^{-3} } }[/tex]

788.48 =  W / .85 X 10⁻³

W = 670 x  10⁻³ N .

c ) wave length

wave length =2π  / k

= 2 x 3.14 / 172

= .0365 m

no of wave lengths over whole length of string

= 1.5 / .0365

= 41

d )

equation for waves traveling down the string

= (8.50 mm)cos(172 rad/m x + 4830 rad/s t)

For the string, which tied to the ceiling at its upper end support a weight has,

  • (a) Time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string is 0.0534 seconds.
  • (b) The weight W is 0.67 N.
  • (c) Number of wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time is 41.
  • (d) The equation for waves traveling down the string is,

           [tex]\rm y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172x rad/m - 4830t rad/s \;)[/tex]

What is equation of motion of standing wave?

The equation of the motion of standing wave can be given as,

[tex]\rm y(x,t) = Acos(kx-\omega t)[/tex]

Here, (k) is the wave number and ([tex]\omega[/tex]) is the angular velocity.

A 1.50-m string of weight 0.0125 N is tied to the ceiling at its upper end, and the lower end supports a weight W.

  • (a) Time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string-

When you pluck the string slightly, the waves traveling up the string obey the equation:

[tex]y(x,t) = (8.50 )\cos(172x -4830)[/tex]

Compare this equation with the general equation of the motion of standing wave, we get,

Angular velocity ([tex]\omega[/tex]) is 4830 rad/s and the wave number (k) is 172 rad/m.

Now the velocity is the ratio of angular velocity to the wave number. Thus, velocity is,

[tex]v=\dfrac{\omega}{k}\\v=\dfrac{4830}{172}\\v=28.08\rm m/s[/tex]

The length of the string is 1.50 m. Thus, time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string is,

[tex]t=\dfrac{1.05}{28.08}\\t=0.0534\rm s[/tex]

  • (b) The weight W-

For the string, force can be given as,

[tex]F=\dfrac{v^2}{\mu}\\F=\dfrac{28.08^2}{0.85\times10^{-3}}\\F=0.67\rm N[/tex]

  • (c) Wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time-

The wavelength of the wave is twice the ratio of pi to the wave number.Thus, the wavelength is,

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{2\times \pi}{k}\\\lambda=\dfrac{2\times \pi}{172}\\\lambda=0.0365\rm m[/tex]

As the length of the string is 1.50 m. Thus, number of wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time is,

[tex]\lambda=\dfrac{1.5}{0.0365}\\\lambda=41[/tex]

  • (d) The equation for waves traveling down the string-

The equation can be given as,

[tex]\rm y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172x rad/m - 4830t rad/s \;)[/tex]

Thus, for the string, which tied to the ceiling at its upper end support a weight has,

  • (a) Time does it take a pulse to travel the full length of the string is 0.0534 seconds.
  • (b) The weight W is 0.67 N.
  • (c) Number of wavelengths are on the string at any instant of time is 41.
  • (d) The equation for waves traveling down the string is,

           [tex]\rm y(x,t) = (8.50 mm)cos(172x rad/m - 4830t rad/s \;)[/tex]
