Chapter 15, Problem 15.50P
CP A 1750-N irregular beam is hanging horizontally by its ends from the ceiling by two vertical wires (A and B), each 1.25 m long and weighing 0.290 N. The center of gravity of this beam is one-third of the way along the beam from the end where wire A is attached. If you pluck both strings at the same time at the beam, what is the time delay between the arrival of the two pulses at the ceiling? Which pulse arrives first? (Ignore the effect of the weight of the wires on the tension in the wires.)

- Logan, Cassie and Abbey are doing the Pulse Speed Lab. Logan and Cassie stand 6.8 m apart and stretch a zinc-coiled snakey between them. Logan introduces a pulse into the snakey at his end. Using a stopwatch, Abbey measures that it takes 15.1 seconds for the pulse to travel to Cassie's end and back two times. They then repeat the experiment with a copper-coiled snakey stretched the same distance and find that pulses travel back and forth two times in 16.9 seconds.a.

- A microwave oven uses microwaves with a frequency of 2.45 GHz (gigahertz) to heat food. Microwaves within the oven are reflected by the walls and can produce a standing wave pattern, in which hot spots are found at the antinodes and cold spots at the nodes.
