The drawing shows a 18.1-kg ball being whirled in a circular path on the end of astring. The motion occurs on a frictionless, horizontal table. The angular speed of the ball is
w
a
12.5rad/s
. The string has a mass of
0.0184 kg
. How much time does it take for a wave on the string to travel from the center of the circle to the ball? Number Units

Respuesta :

The time taken for the wave on the string to travel from the centre of the circle of the ball is 6.5 * 10⁻⁶ s.

Given that, mass of the ball mb = 18.1 kg

Angular speed of the ball ω = 12.5 rad/s

Mass of the string ms = 0.0184 kg

Speed of the wave of the string is given by the formula,

sw = √(Ts / m')  -------(1)

where, Ts is tension in the string

m' is mass per unit length of the strength

Ts = mb * ω² * l  --------(2)

m' = ms/l ---------(3)

Substituting (2) and (3) in (1), we have

sw = √(mb * ω²* l²/ ms) ----(4)

We know that, t = l / sw -----(5)

Substituting (4) in (5), we have

t = √( ms/ mb *ω²) = √( 0.0184/(18.1 * 12.5²)) = √( 0.0184/2828.125)

= 0.0000065 = 6.5 * 10⁻⁶ s

Thus, the time taken for the wave on the string to travel from the centre of circle to the ball is 6.5 * 10⁻⁶ s.
