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 truss is made of three A-36 steel members, each having a cross-sectional area of 400 mm2. Determine the magnitude P required to displace the roller to the right 0.2 mm.arrow_forwardA cylindrical steel wire that is 2 m long must stretch no more than 0.25 cm when the applied tensile force is 700 N to each end of the wire. Find the minimum cross-sectional radius that is required for the wire if the Ysteel is 20 x 1010 Pa. Choices in the image.arrow_forwardYou are working in a factory that produces long bars of copper with a square cross section. In one section of the production process, the bars must slide down an inclined plane of angle θ. It has been found that the bars travel with too high a speed and become dented or bent when they arrive at the bottom of the plane and must be discarded. In order to prevent this waste, you devise a way to deliver the bars at the bottom of the plane at a lower speed. You replace the inclined plane with a pair of parallel metal rails, as shown, separated by a distance ℓ. The smooth bars of mass m will slide down the smooth rails, with the length of the bar always perpendicular to the rails. The rails are immersed in a magnetic field of magnitude B, and a resistor of resistance R is connected between the upper ends of the rails. Determine the magnetic field necessary in your device so that the bars will arrive at the bottom of the plane with a maximum speed υmax.arrow_forward

- A string or rope will break apart if it is placed under too much tensile stress. Thicker ropes can withstand more tension without breaking because the thicker the rope, the greater the cross-sectional area and the smaller the stress. One type of steel has density 7870 kg/m³ and will break if the tensile stress exceeds 7.0 x 108 N/m². You want to make a guitar string from a mass of 4.5 g of this type of steel. In use, the guitar string must be able to withstand a tension of 900 N without breaking. Your job is the following. Express your answer in meters.
