Question
A $4.0\ kg$ block is suspended from the ceiling of an elevator through a, string having a linear mass density of $19.2 \times 10^{-3}kg/m.$ Find the speed $($with respect to the string$)$ with which a wave pulse can proceed on the string if the elevator accelerates up at the rate of $2.0m/s^2$. Take $g = 10m/s^2.$
✓

Answer


$\text{m}=19.2\times10^{-3}\text{kg/m}$
From the freebody diagram,$\text{T}-4\text{g}-4\text{a}=0$
$\Rightarrow\text{T}=4(\text{a}+\text{g})=48\text{N}$
Wave speed, $\text{v}=\sqrt{\Big(\frac{\text{T}}{\text{m}}\Big)}=50\text{m/s}$

Suppose the density of air at Madras is $P_0$ and atomospheric pressure is $P_0.$ If we go up, the density and the pressure both decrease. Suppose we wish to calculate the pressure at a height $10\ km$ above Madras. If we use the equation $P_{0 }- P = pogz,$ will we get a pressure more than the actual or less than the actual? Neglect the variation in $g.$ Does your answer change if you also consider the variation in $g$?

A charged particle moving in a magnetic field experiences a force that is proportional to the strength of the magnetic field, the component of the velocity that is perpendicular to the magnetic field and the charge of the particle. This force is given by $\vec{\text{F}}=\text{q}(\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}})$ where $q$ is the electric charge of the particle, $v$ is the instantaneous velocity of the particle, and Bis the magnetic field $($in tesla$).$ The direction of force is determined by the rules of cross product of two vectors. Force is perpendicular to both velocity and magnetic field. Its direction is same as $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if $q$ is positive and opposite of $\vec{\text{v}}\times\vec{\text{B}}$ if $q$ is negative. The force is always perpendicular to both the velocity of the particle and the magnetic field that created it. Because the magnetic force is always perpendicular to the motion, the magnetic field can do no work on an isolated charge. It can only do work indirectly, via the electric field generated by a changing magnetic field.

The simplest and the most widely used capacitor is the parallel plate capacitor. It consists of two large plane parallel conducting plates, separated by a small distance. In the outer regions above the upper plate and below the lower plate, the electric fields due to the two charged plates cancel out. The net field is zero. In the inner region between the two capacitor plates, the electric fields due to the two charged plates add up. The net field is $\frac{\sigma}{\epsilon_0}.$
For a uniform electric field, potential difference between the plates $=$ Electric field x distance between the plates. Capacitance of the parallel plate capacitor is the charge required to supplied to either of the conductors of the capacitor so as to increase the potential difference between then by unit amount.
