(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?

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.
