A uniform rope of length L resting on a friction less horizontal surface is pulled at one end by a force F. What is the tension in the rope at a distance ι from the end where the force is applied.
-
Solution
Let n be the mass per unit length of rope. Therefore,mass of rope = nL.
Acceleration in the rope due to force F will be a = F/nL.
Mass of rope of length (L– ι) will be n (L – ι).
Therefore, tension in the rope of length (L – ι), is equal to pulling force on it
= n (L – ι) a =n (L – ι) × F/nL =F (1 – ι/L)

Two vibrating tuning forks produce progressive waves given by Y1= 4 sin 500 pt and Y2= 2 sin 506 pt. Number of beats produced per minute is
-
Solution
Equation of progressive wave is given by
Y = A sin 2πf t
Given Y1= 4 sin 500 πt and Y2= 2 sin 506πt.
Comparing the given equations with equation of
progressive wave, we get
2f1= 500,⇒ f1 = 250
2f2= 506 ⇒ f2 = 253
Beats = f2– f1= 253 – 250 = 3 beats/sec
= 3 × 60 = 180 beats/minute.
A ray of light traveling in water is incident on its surface open to air. The angle of incidence is q, which is less than the critical angle. Then there will be
-
Solution
The ray is partly reflected and partly refracted.
∠MOB = 180 – 2θ
But the angle between refracted and reflected ray is
∠POB. Clearly ∠POB is less than ∠MOB.
