Question

A 2 in long string fixed at both ends is set into vibrations in its first overtone. The wave speed on the string is 200m/s and thee amplitude is 0.5cm.

Find the wavelength and the frequency.
Write the equation giving the displacement of different points as a function of time. Choose the X-axis along the string with the origin at one end and t = 0 at the instant when the point x = 50cm has reached its maximum displacement.

Answer

$\text{V}=200\text{m/s},\ 2\text{A}=0.5\text{m}$

The string is vibrating in its 1^st overtone

$\Rightarrow\lambda=1=2\text{m}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}=\frac{\text{v}}{\lambda}=100\text{Hz}$

The stationary wave equation is given by

$\text{y}=2\text{A}\cos\frac{2\pi\text{x}}{\lambda}\sin\frac{2\pi\text{Vt}}{\lambda}$

$=(0.5\text{cm})\cos\big[(\pi\text{m}^{-1})\text{x}\big]\sin\big[(200\pi\text{s}^{-1})\text{t}\big]$

A charged metallic sphere A is suspended by a nylon thread. Another charged metallic sphere B held by an insulating

handle is brought close to A such that the distance between their centres is 10 cm, as shown in Fig. 1.4(a). The resulting repulsion of A is noted (for example, by shining a beam of light and measuring the deflection of its shadow on a screen). Spheres A and B are touched by uncharged spheres C and D respectively, as shown in Fig. 1.4(b). C and D are then removed and B is brought closer to A to a distance of 5.0 cm between their centres, as shown in Fig. 1.4(c). What is the expected repulsion of A on the basis of Coulomb’s law? Spheres A and C and spheres B and D have identical sizes. Ignore the sizes of A and B in comparison to the separation between their centres.
