Answer to Problem 24P

Thereduced mass of H2 is 0.500u .

Explanation of Solution

Formula used:

The expression for reduced mass of a two body system is given by,

  μ=m1m2m1+m2

Calculation:

Dividing the expression for reduced mass of a two body systemby m2 ,

  μ=m1m2m1+m2=m11+ m 1 m 2

Again, dividing the expression for reduced mass of a two body system by m1

  μ=m1m2m1+m2=m21+ m 2 m 1

In both case, the denominator is greater than 1 which implies

  μ<m1 and μ<m2

The reduced mass of H2 is calculated as,

  μ=m1m2m1+m2=( 1u)( 1u)( 1u)+( 1u)=0.500u

Conclusion:

Therefore, thereduced mass of H2 is 0.500u .

Answer to Problem 24P

The reduced mass of N2 is 7.00u .

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The reduced mass of N2 is calculated as,

  μ=m1m2m1+m2=( 14u)( 14u)( 14u)+( 14u)=7.00u

Conclusion:

Therefore, the reduced mass of N2 is 7.00u .

Answer to Problem 24P

The reduced mass of CO is 6.86u .

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The reduced mass of CO is calculated as,

  μ=m1m2m1+m2=( 12u)( 16u)( 12u)+( 16u)=6.86u

Conclusion:

Therefore, the reduced mass of CO is 6.86u .

Answer to Problem 24P

The reduced mass of HCl is 0.973u .

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

The reduced mass of HCl is calculated as,

  μ=m1m2m1+m2=( 1u)( 35.5u)( 1u)+( 35.5u)=0.973u

Conclusion:

Therefore, the reduced mass of HCl is 0.973u .

For each of the actions depicted below, a magnet and/or metal loop moves with velocity v→ (v→ is constant and has the same magnitude in all parts). Determine whether a current is induced in the metal loop. If so, indicate the direction of the current in the loop, either clockwise or counterclockwise when seen from the right of the loop. The axis of the magnet is lined up with the center of the loop. For the action depicted in (Figure 5), indicate the direction of the induced current in the loop (clockwise, counterclockwise or zero, when seen from the right of the loop). I know that the current is clockwise, I just dont understand why. Please fully explain why it's clockwise, Thank you
A planar double pendulum consists of two point masses \[m_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}, \qquad m_2 = 1.00~\mathrm{kg}\]connected by massless, rigid rods of lengths \[L_1 = 1.00~\mathrm{m}, \qquad L_2 = 1.20~\mathrm{m}.\]The upper rod is hinged to a fixed pivot; gravity acts vertically downward with\[g = 9.81~\mathrm{m\,s^{-2}}.\]Define the generalized coordinates \(\theta_1,\theta_2\) as the angles each rod makes with thedownward vertical (positive anticlockwise, measured in radians unless stated otherwise).At \(t=0\) the system is released from rest with \[\theta_1(0)=120^{\circ}, \qquad\theta_2(0)=-10^{\circ}, \qquad\dot{\theta}_1(0)=\dot{\theta}_2(0)=0 .\]Using the exact nonlinear equations of motion (no small-angle or planar-pendulumapproximations) and assuming the rods never stretch or slip, determine the angle\(\theta_2\) at the instant\[t = 10.0~\mathrm{s}.\]Give the result in degrees, in the interval \((-180^{\circ},180^{\circ}]\).
