CP A 1.80-m-long uniform bar that weighs 638 N is suspended in a horizontal position by two vertical wires that are attached to the ceiling. One wire is aluminum and the other is copper. The aluminum wire is attached to the left-hand end of the bar, and the copper wire is attached 0.40 m to the left of the right-hand end. Each wire has length 0.600 in and a circular cross section with radius 0.280 mm. What is the fundamental frequency of transverse standing waves for each wire?

- A copper rod with length 1.4 m and cross-sectional area 2.0 cm2 is fastened to a steel rod of length L and cross-sectional area 1.0 cm2. The compound structure is pulled on each side by two forces of equal magnitude 6.00 104 N (Fig. P14.57). Find the length L of the steel rod if the elongations (L) of the two rods are equal. Use the values Ysteel = 2.0 1011 Pa and YCu = 1.1 1011 Pa. FIGURE P14.57arrow_forwardA horizontal, rigid bar of negligible weight is fixed against a vertical wall at one end and supported by a vertical string at the other end. The bar has a length of 50.0 cm and is used to support a hanging block of weight 400.0 N from a point 30.0 cm from the wall as shown in Figure P14.81. The string is made from a material with a tensile strength of 1.2 108 N/m2. Determine the largest diameter of the string for which it would still break. FIGURE P14.81arrow_forwardIn the short story The Pit and the Pendulum by 19th-century American horror writer Edgar Allen Poe, a man is tied to a table directly below a swinging pendulum that is slowly lowered toward him. The bob of the pendulum is a 1-ft steel scythe connected to a 30-ft brass rod. When the man first sees the pendulum, the pivot is roughly 1 ft above the scythe so that a 29-ft length of the brass rod oscillates above the pivot (Fig. P16.39A). The man escapes when the pivot is near the end of the brass rod (Fig. P16.39B). a. Model the pendulum as a particle of mass ms 5 2 kg attached to a rod of mass mr 5 160 kg. Find the pendulums center of mass and rotational inertia around an axis through its center of mass. (Check your answers by finding the center of mass and rotational inertia of just the brass rod.) b. What is the initial period of the pendulum? c. The man saves himself by smearing food on his ropes so that rats chew through them. He does so when he has no more than 12 cycles before the pendulum will make contact with him. How much time does it take the rats to chew through the ropes? FIGURE P16.39arrow_forward
- The leg bone (femur) breaks under a compressive force of about 7.90 × 104 N for a human and 11.3 × 104 N for a horse. The human femur has a compressive strength of 160 MPa, whereas the horse femur has a compressive strength of 140 MPa. What is the effective cross-sectional area of the femur in a horse? (Note: Since the center of the femur contains bone marrow, which has essentially no compressive strength, the effective cross-sectional area is about 80% of the total cross-sectional area.)arrow_forward.

Assuming that the bar was initially horizontal and the rods stress-free, determine the stress in each rod after the load after the load P = 41. 29 KN is applied. Hint: convert the distance of each member into mm, area of steel and aluminum into mm^2, & E into MPa..
