Asinusoidal wave is travelling on a string under tension t = 8.0(n), having a mass per unit length of ï­1= 0.0128(kg/m). itâs displacement function is d(x, t) = acos(kx - ï·t). itâs amplitude is 0.001m and its wavelength is 0.8m. it reaches the end of this string, and continues on to a string with ï­2 = 0.0512(kg/m) and the same tension as the first string. give the values of a, k, and ï·, for the original wave, as well as k and ï· the reflected wave and the transmitted wave.

Clothing made of several thin layers of fabric with trapped air in between, often called ski clothing, is commonly used in cold climates because it is light, fashionable, and a very effective thermal insulator. so it is no surprise that such clothing has largely replaced thickand heavy old-fashioned coats. (a) consider a jacket made of five layers of 0.1-mm-thick synthetic fabric (k = 0.13 w/m·°c) with 1.5-mm-thick air space (k = 0.026 w/m·°c) between the layers. assuming the inner surface temperature of the jacket to be 28°c and the surface area to be 1.25 m2, determine the rate of heat loss through the jacket when the temperature of the outdoors is 0°c and the heat transfer coefficient at the outer surface is 25 w/m2·°c. (b) what would your response be if the jacket is made of a single layer of 0.5-mm-thick synthetic fabric? what should be the thickness of a wool fabric (k = 0.035 w/m·°c) if the person is to achieve the same level of thermal comfort wearing a thick wool coat instead of a five-layer ski jacket?
