Physics 151Lecture 27-36 / Chapters 13-16 / HW 10-13 Review of Concepts Example Exam-III Problems from CHAPTER : #13 / Gravity, Kepler’s laws #14 / fluid statics and dynamics #15 / Simple Harmonic Motion #16 / Waves Example Exam-III:Problem 1.a Suppose you know the length (L) and the total mass of the bob (M) plus the string (m) of the simple pendulum. You than calculate the period of this pendulum assuming the total mass (M+m) is all concentrated in the bob, as we often do. Is this calculated period: (A) lower (B) the same (C) higher than the period of the real pendulum ? Example Exam-III:Problem 1.b A satellite is in orbit about the earth at a distance of 0.5RE above the earth’s surface. To change orbit it fires its booster rockets to double its height above the Earth’s surface. By what factor did its speed change (v2/v1) ? (A) 4/3 (B) 3/4 (C) (3/4)1/2 (D) (4/3)1/2 Example Exam-III:Problem 1.c An air stream moves from left to right through a tube that is constricted at the middle. Three Ping-Pong balls are levitated by the air escaping though three vertical columns as shown. When the balls are in equilibrium what are their relative heights? Explain. (A) h1 = h2 = h3 (B) h1 = h3 h2 (C) h1 = h3 h2 (D) h1 h3 h2 Example Exam-III:Problem 2. The equation: y(x,t) = (2/p) cos [p( x – 4 t)] gives the particle displacement of a string in which a simple harmonic wave is propagating (all units are SI). The string is under tension of 10 N. a) What is the speed of that wave ? b) At t = 2s what is the velocity of the string at x = 10 m ? Example Exam-III:Problem 3 A U-tube is open on both sides to the atmosphere is partially filled with mercury. Water is then poured into both arms. If the equilibrium configuration of the tube is as shown in the Figure, with h2 = 1.00 cm and the diameters of the left arm
