Problem 12 When an insect ventures onto a spiderweb, a slight vibration is set up alerting the spider. The density of spider silk is approximately 1.3 g/cm³, and its diameter varies considerably depending on the type of spider, but 3.0 µ m is typical. If the web is under a tension of 0.50 N when a small beetle crawls onto it 25 cm from the spider, how long will it take for the spider to receive the first waves from the beetle?

A copper wire, whose cross-sectional area is 8.58 x 106 m², has a linear density of 6.18 x 103 kg/m and is strung between two walls. At the ambient temperature, a transverse wave travels with a speed of 60.8 m/s on this wire. The coefficient of linear expansion for copper is 17 x 10-6 (Cº)-1, and Young's modulus for copper is 1.1 x 10¹1 N/m². What will be the speed of the wave when the temperature is lowered by 26.5 Cº? Ignore any change in the linear density caused by the change in temperature. Number i Units
I NEED IT ASAP! The upper end of a 4.59-meter-long steel wire fastened to the ceiling, and a 79.0-kg object is suspended from the lower end of the wire. You observe that it takes a transverse pulse 0.0496 second to travel from the bottom to the top of the wire. What is the mass, in kilograms, of the wire?
Biologists think that some spiders "tune" strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those at which desirable prey might struggle. Orb spider web silk has a typical diameter of 20 μm, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m³. To have a fundamental frequency at 150 Hz, to what tension must a spider adjust a 20 cm - long strand of silk? Express your answer with the appropriate units. T. = μÅ Value Units Review ?
3. A one-dimensional harmonic wave, which propagates in a medium with a speed of 400 m², is described by the following mathematical expression: y(x,1)=3 sen(kx-2007t+) cm where x and t are in m and s, respectively. Knowing that y(0, 0) = 1.5 cm and that the speed of oscillation at t= 0 and x = 0 is positive, find: a. The wave number k and the initial phase po b. The maximum acceleration of oscillation of a generic point of the x axis.

Two straight metal wires connected to each other end-to-end. The first wire is made of magnesium and has a length of 13 m. The other wire is made of nickel and its length is 20 m. Both wires have the same cross-sectional diameter of 0.22 cm. They are stretched to a tension force of 1680 N. What time does it take for a transverse wave to travel through the entire system of two wires? The densities of magnesium and nickel are 1738 kg/m3 and 8908 kg/m3, respectively.
Young modulus for the metal?

What is the length of the thick wire?
There is a long steel wire of length 2.7 m where its upper end is attached to the ceiling. At the other end, a 56.2 kg object is suspended. It is observed that it takes a transverse pulse 0.0345 s to travel from the bottom to the top of the wire. What is the mass of the wire? NOTE: Final answer in THREE decimal places. Include the unit. Round your answer to 3 decimal places.
8 A 1.0 m1.0 m long pipe held vertically is inserted into a tank of water. This creates an open-closed pipe whose length can be easily varied. When a tuning fork is held at the open end and the pipe is slowly pulled out of the water, resonances are observed when the top of the pipe is 16 cm and 48 cm above the top surface of the water, and no resonances are observed in between. What is the frequency of the tuning fork? Use 340 m/s for the speed of sound. 240 Hz 530 Hz 610 Hz 710 Hz 850 Hz Correct.
