You have been called in as an expert witness in a civil case. The case involves a dispute between neighbors. The plaintiff neighbor is complaining about a buzzing noise during the night that prevents the plaintiff from sleeping. He claims that the buzzing is coming from a light fixture on the defendants porch ceiling. The defendant likes to do installations and repairs himself and has done a sloppy job of installing the light fixture. The fixture hangs vertically from a single wire that is attached through the porch ceiling and down the wall to one connector in a nearby electrical outlet. The second wire is hung horizontally with strings at the level of the light and then runs down the wall to the other connector in the outlet. The defendant leaves the light on all night long for security. Recalling his high school physics, the plaintiff states that the combination of the 60-Hz household voltage and the magnetic field of the Earth results in an oscillating driving force on the single wire from which the light fixture hangs vertically. This, in turn, sets up a standing wave in the wire, and that is the cause of the buzz. You have been hired by the defense attorney. Upon hearing the details of the case, you obtain permission from the defendant and make measurements. The mass of the light fixture is 17.5 kg. The vertical wire from which it hangs is 0.150 m long and has a mass of 0.030 kg. Is the plaintiff correct that the magnetic field of the Earth is causing the buzzing of the wire? Ignore any effect of the second wire.
CASE STUDY In Example 34.6 (page 1111), we imagined equipping 1950DA, an asteroid on a collision course with the Earth, with a solar sail in hopes of ejecting it from the solar system. We found that the enormous size required for the solar sail makes the plan impossible at this time. Of course, there is no need to eject such an object from the solar system: we only need to change the orbit. A much more pressing problem is Apophis, a 300-m asteroid that may be on a collision course with the Earth and is due to come by on April 13, 2029. It is unlikely to hit the Earth on that pass, but it will return again in 2036. If Apophis passes through a 600-m keyhole on its 2029 pass, it is expected to hit the Earth in 2036. causing great damage. There are plans to deflect Apophis when it comes by in 2029. For example, we could hit it with a 10- to 150-kg impactor accelerated by a solar sail. The impactor is launched from the Earth to start orbiting the Sun in the same direction as the Earth and Apophis. The idea is to use a solar sail to accelerate the impactor so that it reverses direction and collides head-on with Apophis at 8090 km/s and thereby keeps Apophis out of the keyhole. Consider the momentum in the impactors orbit (Fig. P34.75) when the solar sail makes an angle of = 60 with the tangent to its orbit. Current solar sails may be about 40 m on a side, but the hope is to construct some that are about 160 m on a side. Estimate the impactors tangential acceleration when it is about 1 AU from the Sun. Keep in mind that the sail is neither a perfect absorber nor a perfect reflector, and a heavier impactor would presumably be equipped with a larger sail. Dont be surprised by what may seem like a very small acceleration. FIGURE P34.75
