Question

In the standing waves experiment, the string has a mass of 47.3 g and a length of 0.93 m. The string is connected to a mechanical wave generator that produce standing waves with frequency of f. The other end of the string is connected to a mass holder (mholder = 50.0 g) that carries a weight of 5.00x10^2 g. Calculate the tension in the string. (g = 9.80 m/s^2)

Answer 1

5.39 N

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

the string has a mass of 47.3 g and a length of 0.93 m.

mass holder (M_holder = 50.0 g) that carries a weight of 5.00x10^2 g.

g= 9.80 m/s^2

By the FBD we write

Tension in the string = (M_holder+mass of weight)×g

= [(50.0+5.00×10^2)×10^-3×9.80] N

= 5.39 N
