Chapter 18, Problem 18.61P

Suppose a flutist plays a 523-Hz C note with first harmonic displacement amplitude A1 = 100 nm. From Figure 17.21b read, by proportion, the displacement amplitudes of harmonics 2 through 7. Take these as the values, A2 through A7 in the Fourier analysis of the sound and assume B 1 = B 2 =   = B 7 = 0 . Construct a graph of the waveform of the sound. Your waveform will not look exactly like the flute waveform in Figure 17.20b because you simplify by ignoring cosine terms; nevertheless, it produces the same sensation to human hearing.

The de-excitation of a state occurs by competing emission and relaxation processes. If the relaxation mechanisms are very effective:a) the emission of radiation is largeb) the emission of radiation is smallc) the emission occurs at a shorter wavelengthd) the de-excitation occurs only by emission processes
m C A block of mass m slides down a ramp of height hand collides with an identical block that is initially at rest. The two blocks stick together and travel around a loop of radius R without losing contact with the track. Point A is at the top of the loop, point B is at the end of a horizon- tal diameter, and point C is at the bottom of the loop, as shown in the figure above. Assume that friction between the track and blocks is negligible. (a) The dots below represent the two connected blocks at points A, B, and C. Draw free-body dia- grams showing and labeling the forces (not com ponents) exerted on the blocks at each position. Draw the relative lengths of all vectors to reflect the relative magnitude of the forces. Point A Point B Point C (b) For each of the following, derive an expression in terms of m, h, R, and fundamental constants. i. The speed of moving block at the bottom of the ramp, just before it contacts the stationary block ii. The speed of the two blocks immediately…
The velocity of an elevator is given by the graph shown. Assume the positive direction is upward. Velocity (m/s) 3.0 2.5 2.0 1.5 1.0 0.5 0 0 5.0 10 15 20 25 Time (s) (a) Briefly describe the motion of the elevator. Justify your description with reference to the graph. (b) Assume the elevator starts from an initial position of y = 0 at t=0. Deriving any numerical values you need from the graph: i. Write an equation for the position as a function of time for the elevator from t=0 to t = 3.0 seconds. ii. Write an equation for the position as a function of time for the elevator from t = 3.0 seconds to t = 19 seconds. (c) A student of weight mg gets on the elevator and rides the elevator during the time interval shown in the graph. Consider the force of con- tact, F, between the floor and the student. How Justify your answer with reference to the graph does F compare to mg at the following times? and your equations above. i. = 1.0 s ii. = 10.0 s
