The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the forces acting on the masses and use the information given about the wave velocity and linear mass density. ### Step 1: Understanding the Setup We have a wire with a linear mass density of \( \mu = 9.8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/m} \) passing over a frictionless pulley. One mass \( m \) is on an inclined plane at an angle of \( 30^\circ \), and the other mass \( M \) is hanging vertically. The system is in equilibrium, and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of \( v = 100 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 2: Free Body Diagram (FBD) For mass \( m \) on the incline: - The gravitational force acting on it can be resolved into two components: - Parallel to the incline: \( m g \sin(30^\circ) \) - Perpendicular to the incline: \( m g \cos(30^\circ) \) For mass \( M \) hanging vertically: - The gravitational force acting on it is simply \( M g \). ### Step 3: Writing the Equations of Equilibrium For mass \( m \) on the incline, the tension \( T \) in the wire must balance the component of the gravitational force acting down the incline: \[ T = m g \sin(30^\circ) \] For mass \( M \) hanging vertically, the tension \( T \) must balance the weight of \( M \): \[ T = M g \] ### Step 4: Relating the Two Equations Since both expressions represent the same tension \( T \), we can set them equal to each other: \[ m g \sin(30^\circ) = M g \] ### Step 5: Simplifying the Equation We can cancel \( g \) from both sides (as long as \( g \neq 0 \)): \[ m \sin(30^\circ) = M \] Using \( \sin(30^\circ) = \frac{1}{2} \): \[ m \cdot \frac{1}{2} = M \] \[ m = 2M \] ### Step 6: Finding the Tension in the Wire The velocity of the wave in the wire is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] We can rearrange this to find the tension \( T \): \[ T = v^2 \cdot \mu \] Substituting the known values: \[ T = (100)^2 \cdot (9.8 \times 10^{-3}) \] \[ T = 10000 \cdot 9.8 \times 10^{-3} \] \[ T = 98 \, \text{N} \] ### Step 7: Finding the Mass \( M \) From the equation \( T = M g \): \[ 98 = M \cdot 9.8 \] \[ M = \frac{98}{9.8} = 10 \, \text{kg} \] ### Step 8: Finding the Mass \( m \) Using the relationship \( m = 2M \): \[ m = 2 \cdot 10 = 20 \, \text{kg} \] ### Final Results - The mass \( M = 10 \, \text{kg} \) - The mass \( m = 20 \, \text{kg} \) ### Conclusion The values of \( m \) and \( M \) are \( 20 \, \text{kg} \) and \( 10 \, \text{kg} \) respectively.

To solve the problem step by step, we will analyze the forces acting on the masses and use the information given about the wave velocity and linear mass density. ### Step 1: Understanding the Setup We have a wire with a linear mass density of \( \mu = 9.8 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{kg/m} \) passing over a frictionless pulley. One mass \( m \) is on an inclined plane at an angle of \( 30^\circ \), and the other mass \( M \) is hanging vertically. The system is in equilibrium, and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of \( v = 100 \, \text{m/s} \). ### Step 2: Free Body Diagram (FBD) For mass \( m \) on the incline: - The gravitational force acting on it can be resolved into two components: ...
