Question
The wave pattern on a stretched string is shown in Interpret what kind of wave this is and find its wavelength.

Answer

The displacement of medium particlles at distance 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50cm are always rest which is the property of nodes in stationary wave.$\text{AT}\ \text{t}=\frac{\text{T}}{4}$ and $\frac{\text{3T}}{4}$ all particle are at rest wgich is in stationary wave when the particle crossrs its mean position.
so thet praph of wave shos stationaty wave. The wave at $\text{x}=10,\ 20,\ 30,\ 40\text{cm}$ there are nodes and distance between successive nodes is $\frac{\lambda}{2}$$\therefore\frac{\lambda}{2}=(30-20)$ or $\lambda=20\text{cm.}$

Four identical cylindrical columns of steel support a big structure of mass $50,000kg$. The inner and outer radii of each column are $30cm$ and $40cm$ respectively. Assume the load distribution to be uniform, calculate the compressional strain of each column. The Young's modulus of steel is $2.0 \times 10^{11}Pa$.
A child running a temperature of $101°F$ is given an antipyrin (i.e. a medicine that lowers fever) which causes an increase in the rate of evaporation of sweat from his body. If the fever is brought down to $98°F$ in $20$ minutes, what is the average rate of extra evaporation caused, by the drug. Assume the evaporation mechanism to be the only way by which heat is lost. The mass of the child is $30kg$. The specific heat of human body is approximately the same as that of water, and latent heat of evaporation of water at that temperature is about $580cal\ g^{–1}$.

Ten small planes are flying at a speed of 150km/h in total darkness in an air space that is 20 × 20 × 1.5km 3 in volume. You are in one of the planes, flying at random within this space with no way of knowing where the other planes are. On the average about how long a time will elapse between near collision with your plane. Assume for this rough computation that a safety region around the plane can be approximated by a sphere of radius 10m.
