What is the Relationship Between Tension and Velocity in a Vibrating String?

In summary, mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object and is commonly measured in units of grams or kilograms. It is different from weight, which is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. The mass of a book can be measured using a scale and can be affected by its size, material, and content. The mass of a book can also change if it is physically altered or exposed to external factors, but under normal conditions, it will remain constant.

Homework Equations


##v=\sqrt { \frac { T }{ \mu } } =\lambda f##

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't think there is enough information,
##v=\sqrt { \frac { Mg }{ m/L } } ##
m, the mass of the string is not given

OK this is solved then. I have a great teacher.
 

1. What is mass?

Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. It is commonly measured in units of grams (g) or kilograms (kg).

2. How is mass different from weight?

Mass is often confused with weight, but they are actually two different concepts. Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object, while weight is a measure of the force of gravity acting on an object. Mass remains the same regardless of location, while weight can change depending on the strength of the gravitational pull.

3. How is the mass of a book measured?

The mass of a book can be measured using a scale. The book is placed on the scale and the weight is recorded in units of grams (g) or kilograms (kg), which is equivalent to the mass of the book.

4. What factors can affect the mass of a book?

The mass of a book can be affected by its size, material, and content. For example, a larger book will generally have a greater mass than a smaller book, and a hardcover book will typically have a greater mass than a paperback. The content of the book, such as the number of pages and the type of paper used, can also impact its mass.

5. Can the mass of a book change?

Yes, the mass of a book can change. If the book is physically altered, such as by adding or removing pages, its mass will change. Additionally, if the book is exposed to external factors like water or fire, its mass may also change. However, under normal conditions, the mass of a book will remain constant.
