    Tension Waves Wire
AI Thread Summary
A 10.0 m long wire with a mass of 100 g is under a tension of 250 N, leading to discussions on the meeting point of two disturbances generated 0.030 s apart. The formula for the driving force is given as F(t)=F(0)[1.exp(-at)], and participants are tasked with finding the displacement over time, assuming zero initial displacement and velocity. The thread emphasizes the importance of attempting the problem independently while seeking guidance on specific areas of confusion. Participants are encouraged to clarify their understanding and articulate where they struggle, rather than expecting complete solutions. The discussion aims to foster collaborative problem-solving in the context of forced oscillations in a stretched wire.

1- A wire 10.0 m long and having a mass of 100 g is stretched under a tension of 250 N. If two disturbances separeted in time by 0.030 s are generated one at each of the wire where will the distrubances meet?

2- Consider the forced oscillations. At t=0, the driving force
F(t)=F(0)[1.exp(-at)] is turned on. Find the displacement at any time. Assume that at t=0, the displacement is zero and initial velocitiy is V0

You need to make an attempt at the probem. Tell us what you tried to do.
 
Qustions are asked. What do you means?
 
We won't do your homework for you, we will only help you.
 
why? where do u cany understans?
 
where do YOU can't understan?

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...

Thread 'Egg Drop Challenge! Need ideas for winning designs'

I was thinking using 2 purple mattress samples, and taping them together, I do want other ideas though, the main guidelines are; Must have a volume LESS than 1600 cubic centimeters, and CAN'T exceed 25 cm in ANY direction. Must be LESS than 1 kg. NO parachutes. NO glue or Tape can touch the egg. MUST be able to take egg out in less than 1 minute. Grade A large eggs will be used.
