1. How many beats can be heard by sounding together two tuning forks of frequencies 250Hz and 256Hz?
Number of beats (n) =f2- f1
= 256 - 250
= 6 beats /sec
Materials show varying behaviors based on their Poisson's ratio. High Poisson's ratio materials (near 0.5) contract significantly sideways when stretched and expand when compressed, seen in substances like rubber. Low Poisson's ratio materials (near 0) undergo minimal width change during axial deformation, typical of metals and common engineering materials.
Here, the given equation of parabola is y2= 8x.
The equation of tangent to the parabola y2=8x is,
y= mx + 2/m
This tangent passes through the point (-2, 3)
So, 3 = -2m + 2/m
or, 3m + 2m2 = 2
or, 2m2+3m - 2= 0
or, 2m2 + (4 - 1)m -2 = 0
or, 2m2 + 4m - m - 2 = 0
or, 2m(m + 2) - 1(m+2) = 0
or, (m + 2) (2m - 1) = 0
Either, Or,
m = -2 m = 1/2
Required angle is,
