To Fill: The appropriate word in the given blank space.

Answer to Problem 26R
The correct word is Cochlea.
Explanation of Solution
Introduction:
Sound waves are mechanical waves that are propagated by vibrations on the media. So, as density of any medium increases, speed of the sound will also be increase.
In human ear, sound vibrations are transmitted into membrane and further transmitted into inner ear. Human’s inner ear contains cochlea. Cochlea is spiral-shaped structure which contains tiny hair cells and filled with liquid.
Now, when these tiny hair cells (in cochlea) start vibrating, nerve impulses are directed via auditory nerve to the brain by converting into
Conclusion:
Cochlea converts sound waves to nerve impulses.

- Question 16 A square plate has a side length of 1.20m. A 24.0- N'm torque is applied about an axis perpendicular to the plate through its centre. If it experiences an angular acceleration of 6.25rad/s², calculate the mass of the plate. Question 17 A light string is wrapped around a solid cylinder, and a block of mass m = 100g hangs from the free end of the string, as shown Figure A2.17. When released, the block falls a distance of 1.0m in 2.0s. a. Draw free-body (or force) diagrams for the block and the cylinder. b. Calculate the tension in the string. c. Determine the mass (M) of the cylinder.arrow_forwardPls help ASAP on botharrow_forwardPls help ASAP on botharrow_forward
- Question 7 A box slides on a smooth (frictionless) horizontal surface, 1.5m above the floor, at a speed of 2.0m/s, as shown in Figure A2.07. The box then slides down a ramp that makes an angle of 36° with the horizontal and has a coefficient of kinetic friction equal to 0.43. After reaching the end of the ramp, the box continues to slide horizontally on the smooth floor. Use the law of conservation of energy to calculate the final speed (v) of the box.arrow_forwardQuestion 3 Three lead spheres, of mass 10kg each, are located at three corners of a square of side length 45cm, as shown in Figure A2.03. A bead is released at the forth corner. By considering the gravitational forces among the four objects only, determine the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of the bead when released.arrow_forwardPls help ASAP on botharrow_forward
