A wire of length 150cm and area of cross section equal to 1mm stretched by a weight of 3 kg. Find the increase in length.
Young's modulus of the material of the wire = 2x10' N/m (g

Follow these directions and answer the questions. 1. set up the ripple tank as in previous investigations. 2. bend the rubber tube to form a "concave mirror" and place in the ripple tank. the water level must be below the top of the hose. 3. generate a few straight pulses with the dowel and observe the reflected waves. do the waves focus (come together) upon reflection? can you locate the place where the waves meet? 4. touch the water surface where the waves converged. what happens to the reflected wave? 5. move your finger twice that distance from the hose (2f = c of c, center of the curvature) and touch the water again. does the image (the reflected wave) appear in the same location (c of c)? you may have to experiment before you find the exact location. sometimes it is hard to visualize with the ripple tank because the waves move so quickly. likewise, it is impossible to "see" light waves because they have such small wavelengths and move at the speed of light. however, both are examples of transverse waves and behave in the same way when a parallel wave fronts hit a curved surface.

Ball bearings are made by letting spherical drops of molten metal fall inside a talll tower-called a shot tower- and solidify as they fall. a-if a bearing needs 4.0 s to solidify enough for impact, how high must the tower be? b- what is the bearing's impact velocity?

If you visited mount shasta city (elevation 900 m [3000 ft.]) and found the outside air temperature to be 27°c (81°f), what would be the air temperature at the summit of mount shasta (elevation 4200 m [14,000 ft.]) at that moment-assuming that the temperature conditions with altitude change at an average, or normal, lapse rate?
