ASSIGNMENT I

SUBMISSION DATE: MONDAY October 16, 2023

1) Plank’s length, l depends on three fundamental quantities namely: the speed of light,
8 −11 3 2
C=3.0 ×10 m/s , the Newton’s gravitational constant, G=6.67× 10 m /kg s and plank’s
constant, h=6.63 ×10−34 kg m2 / s.
i) based on dimensional analysis obtain the dependence of l on C , G∧h .
ii) obtain a value of l , ignore any dimensionless constant.

2) A 200 N weight is hang by massless strings as shown below

60◦ 30˚

T1 T2

T3

200 N

Determine the tensions T 1, T 2 and T 3 on the string and show their directions.

3) A body oscillates with simple harmonic motion according to the equation


x=( 6.12 m ) cos [ ( 8.38 rad / s ) t+1.92 rad ]
Find:

i) the displacement
ii) the velocity
iii) the acceleration at time 1.90 s
iv) the frequency and period of the rotation
