Two children are sending signals along a cord of total mass 0.44 kg tied between tin cans with a tension of 33 N . It takes the vibrations in the string 0.59 s to go from one child to the other. How far apart are the children?

Respuesta :

The children are 26.10 m apart due to tension in the string.

Tension is a force along the length of a medium, especially a force carried by a flexible medium such as a rope or cable.

Tension in the string = F = 33 N

mass of the string = m = 0.44 kg

time taken to transmit the sound t = 0.59s

According to the formula of tension in the spring, F = μv²

μ = linear mass density of the string = (m/l)

As velocity is defined as the rate of change of distance with respect to time (t)here the distance is length (l) of the chord, therefore v = (l/t)

l = length of the string

Putting the corresponding values in the equation of Tension,

F = μv²

F = μ(l/t)²

(l/t)² = F/μ

(l/t)² = 33.l/m

l = ( 33 * 0.59² ) / 0.44

l = 26.10 m

Children are 26.10m apart.
