Wave Mechanics Question 519

Question: The system is rotated with angular speed ox. (see figure). What is the ratio of energy stored in each wire?

Options:

A) 31:9

B) 50:9

C) 47:9

D) 8:9

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] $ T _{1}-T _{2}=m{\omega _{0}}^{2}(2l) $

$ T _{2}=m{\omega _{0}}^{2}(3l) $

$ \

Therefore T _{1}=5m{\omega _{0}}^{2}l. $

$ \frac{Energy(A)}{Energy(B)}$=$\frac{{(stress)^{2}}_A volume A}{{(stress)}^{2}_B volumeB} $

$ =\frac{{{(5)}^{2}}}{{{(3)}^{2}}}\times ( \frac{A\times 2l}{A\times l} )=\frac{50}{9} $
