10. How far does a transverse pulse travel in 1.23 ms on a string with a density of 5.47 × 10−3 kg/m under tension of 47.8 ????? How far will this pulse travel in the same time if the tension is doubled?

Respuesta :

Answer: Tension = 47.8N, Δx = 11.5×[tex]10^{-6}[/tex] m.

              Tension = 95.6N, Δx = 15.4×[tex]10^{-5}[/tex] m

Explanation: A speed of wave on a string under a tension force can be calculated as:

[tex]|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }[/tex]

[tex]F_{T}[/tex] is tension force (N)

μ is linear density (kg/m)

Determining velocity:

[tex]|v| = \sqrt{\frac{47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }[/tex]

[tex]|v| = \sqrt{0.00874 }[/tex]

[tex]|v| =[/tex] 0.0935 m/s

The displacement a pulse traveled in 1.23ms:

[tex]\Delta x = |v|.t[/tex]

[tex]\Delta x = 9.35.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}[/tex]

Δx = 11.5×[tex]10^{-6}[/tex]

With tension of 47.8N, a pulse will travel Δx = 11.5×[tex]10^{-6}[/tex]  m.

Doubling Tension:

[tex]|v| = \sqrt{\frac{2*47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }[/tex]

[tex]|v| = \sqrt{2.0.00874 }[/tex]

[tex]|v| = \sqrt{0.01568}[/tex]

|v| = 0.1252 m/s

Displacement for same time:

[tex]\Delta x = |v|.t[/tex]

[tex]\Delta x = 12.52.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}[/tex]

[tex]\Delta x =[/tex] 15.4×[tex]10^{-5}[/tex]

With doubled tension, it travels [tex]\Delta x =[/tex] 15.4×[tex]10^{-5}[/tex] m
