In the pivot assignment, we observed waves moving on a string stretched by hanging weights. We noticed that certain frequencies produced standing waves. One such situation is shown below: 0 ст Direct Measurement ©2015 Peter Bohacek I. 20 0 cm 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Which Harmonic is this? Do NOT include units! What is the wavelength of this wave in cm with only no decimal places? If the speed of this wave is 2500 cm/s, what is the frequency of this harmonic (in Hz, with NO decimal places)?

Four capacitors are connected as shown in the figure below. (Let C = 12.0 µF.) A circuit consists of four capacitors. It begins at point a before the wire splits in two directions. On the upper split, there is a capacitor C followed by a 3.00 µF capacitor. On the lower split, there is a 6.00 µF capacitor. The two splits reconnect and are followed by a 20.0 µF capacitor, which is then followed by point b. (a) Find the equivalent capacitance between points a and b. µF(b) Calculate the charge on each capacitor, taking ΔVab = 16.0 V. 20.0 µF capacitor µC 6.00 µF capacitor µC 3.00 µF capacitor µC capacitor C µC
