(a)One end of a string is attached to a wall and the other end is attached to a mass sitting on a ramp tilted at an angle of 35 degrees. It takes a pulse 10 ms to travel the length of the 1 m string. The string has a mass 1.5 g. What is the mass that is attached to the string?

 

(b) The string is replaced by two strings that are knotted together, L1 has a length 60 cm and L2 has a length of 40 cm. They have a linear mass density of of mu1 = 1.4 x 10-4 kg/m and mu2 = 2.8 x 10-4 kg/m. Like before, they are attached to the mass you found in part a. A pulse is sent from each end of the string. Which pulse meets the knot first?

1. An object of mass 1.5 kg, attached to a string, swings back and forth like a pendulum in the vertical xy-plane. At one point in the motion, when the object is on the right side of the swing, its velocity is measured to be m/s.
a) In what direction is the object moving at this point in its motion? Draw a physical picture and the path of the object, with a velocity arrow at this point in the motion.
b) Since the string is in contact with the object, they exert forces on each other. Make a reasoned argument how the object exerts a force on the string, and then use Newton’s third law to draw an arrow to represent the force that the string exerts on the object at this point in the motion.
c) Identify all other forces that are acting on the object and draw arrows to represent these forces. Explain how you know the directions of these forces.
d) Use a pictorial arrow addition to determine the net force acting on the object at this point in its motion.
e) Based on a reasoned argument of the object’s speed and direction of motion a short time later, estimate the object’s velocity at a small time later in its motion. Use a pictorial diagram to draw arrows to determine the change in the object’s momentum between these two points.
f) Based on your estimates, calculate the magnitude and direction of the change in momentum.
g) Based on your diagrams in (d) and (e), decide if Newton’s 2nd law is upheld. If not, explain what you should change in your diagrams to get agreement, and why.

5 kg of saturated liquid water at 10 bars is contained in a piston-cylinder assembly and undergoes two processes. process 1-2: heated at constant pressure until it is saturated vapor. process 2-3: cooled as it is compressed at constant volume until it reaches 110 degrees celsius. determine the overall work and heat transfer for these processes. Hint: Must used linear interpolation from values in the correct Water tables.
