AI Thread Summary
To find the position of antinodes on a string with fixed ends, it's important to understand that a node occurs at the fixed end. Given a wavelength of 2.4 m, the first antinode will be located at a quarter wavelength from the fixed end, which is 0.6 m. The second antinode will be at three-quarters of the wavelength, or 1.8 m from the fixed end. The specific length of the string can influence the number of nodes and antinodes present, but the fundamental positions remain consistent based on the wavelength. Understanding these principles is crucial for accurately determining antinode locations.

1. Waves traveling along a string have a wavelength of 2.4 m. When the waves reach the fixed end of the string, they are reflected. How far from the end are the first two antinodes?


2. Not sure what to use



3. I have no really a clue on what to do, if some one could explain it to me, that would be really helpful.

What happens at the fixed end of the string? Do you get a node or antinode there?
 
Isn't there any specific length for the string given in your textbook?
 
Would that make a difference?
 
You get a node at the end.
 
So if there is a node at the end and the wavelength is 2.4m where will the anti nodes be?

Thread 'Struggling to make relation between elastic force and height'

Hello guys this is what I tried so far. I used the UTS to calculate the force it needs when the rope tears. My idea was to make a relationship/ function that would give me the force depending on height. Yeah i couldnt find a way to solve it. I also thought about how I could use hooks law (how it was given to me in my script) with the thought of instead of having two part of a rope id have one singular rope from the middle to the top where I could find the difference in height. But the...

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...
