Caroline, a piano tuner, suspects that a piano's A4 key is out of tune. Normally, she would play the key along with her A4 tuning fork and tune the piano to match, but her A4 tuning fork is missing. Instead, she plays the errant key along with her G4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 392.0 Hz), displays the resulting waveform on a handheld oscilloscope, and measures a beat frequency of 84.6 Hz. Then, she plays the errant key along with her B4 tuning fork (which has a frequency of 493.9 Hz) and measures a beat frequency of 17.3 Hz. What frequency is being played by the out-of-tune key? If the B4 key is supposed to produce a frequency of 493.9, is the frequency of the key lower than it should be ("flat") or higher than it should be ("sharp")?

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

Aspring is used to stop a 50-kg package which is moving down a 20º incline. the spring has a constant k = 30 kn/m and is held by cables so that it is initially compressed 50 mm. knowing that the velocity of the package is 2 m/s when it is 8 m from the spring and neglecting friction, determine the maximum additional deformation of the spring in bringing the package to rest.
