- To measure the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet, an astronaut hangs a 0.105-kg ball from the end of a wire. The wire has a length of 1.74 m and a linear density of 3.02 × 10-4 kg/m. Using electronic equipment, the astronaut measures the time for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the wire and obtains a value of 0.0653 s. The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the ball. Determine the acceleration due to gravity.arrow_forwardWaves on a particular string travel with a velocity of 35.0 m/s .

Suppose a 20.0 kg box is pushed up the ramp and it slides with a friction coefficient of 0.30.
