Express you answers in terms of F, m, m2, and required constants. a)(4p) What is the magnitude of the acceleration of mass mı? b)(4p) What is the magnitude of tension in the string connecting the masses?
Two equal masses, m, are joined by a massless string of length L
that passes through a hole in a frictionless horizontal table.
First mass slides on table while the second hangs below the table
and moves up and down in a vertical line.
a.) Assuming the string remains taut, write down the Lagrangian
for the system in terms of the polar coordinates
of the mass on the table.
b.) Find the two Lagrangian equations of motion and interpret
the...
Two blocks, joined by a string, have masses of 6.0 kg and 9.0 kg. They rest on a frictionless horizontal surface. A 2nd string, attached only to the 9 kg block, has horizontal force = 30 N applied to it. Both blocks accelerate. Find the tension in the string between the blocks.
The magnitude of the tidal force between the International Space Station (ISS) and a nearby astronaut on a spacewalk is approximately 2GmMa/r3 . In this expression, M is the mass of the Earth, r=6.79×106m is the distance from the center of the Earth to the orbit of the ISS, m=125kg is the mass of the astronaut, and a=16m is the distance from the astronaut to the center of mass of the ISS. Part A Calculate the magnitude of the tidal...
5. (10 points) Two parallel semi-infinite sticks, a distance 2b apart, are joined by a semicircular piece of radius b, as shown below. A constant linear charge density λ is deposited along the whole of the arrangement. Find the electric field E; at the center of the semicircle.

A light string has its ends tied to two walls separated by a distance equal to three-fifths the length of the string as shown in the figure. An 18 kg mass is suspended from the center of the string, applying a tension in the string. What is the tension in the two strings of length L 2 tied to the wall? The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s 2 . Answer in units of N
Two masses m1 and m2 are located a distance r apart and are initially at rest. Due to the attractive gravitational force, the two masses will move towards each other. Find the velocity of each mass when they are located a distance d apart. You are given G. (Answer: For mass m1: v1 = m2sqrt(2G(1/d-1/r)/(m1 + m2)))
A certain string is pulled taught between two supports, a distance L apart. When the string is driven at a frequency of 850 Hz a standing wave is observed with n anti-nodes. When the string is driven at 1190 Hz a standing wave is observed with n + 2 anti-nodes. a) What is the fundamental frequency of the set-up? b) What is the numerical value of n? c) The distance between the supports is kept fixed, as is the linear...
