S05 : 4c,6iv,5iii & c
W05: 4
s06: 2b,5c
S07:5c
No7: 1b,4b, c & d

Any help wud be greatly appreciated. PLease post as soon as possible ty :)))
s06 q2b
imagine all the forces passing through p and when u do that u'll see that now the distance of all the forces from p is zero so sum of moment about p will also be zero
Q5c
1/2 x 16 x (6^2 - 4.5^2) + 1/2 x 16 x (3^2 - 4.5^2) = 36 all the lengths were in cm so divide answer by 100 36/100= 0.36J

mean wheneva they going to give us lowest frequency we use the 1/4 lambda thing? always?

S06 5 b
work done = area under the graph = 1/2 * F * x
F=k*x
so substitute F in work done= 1/2 * k *x^2
substitute x from the graph
w=1/2 * k * (x2^2 - x1^2)
Actually meant part (c).. I made a typo there. :\ In any case, thanks for the quick reply. :)

Q5biii) when you're using the formula dsin(theta) = n* lambda, one of the condition is that the incident light has no path difference before entering the diffraction grating. This is only possible when the light is normal to the grating surface, if the incident light enters at an angle then there is a path difference and the formula does not apply.

Q5b) work done = average force * extension
for the extension from x1 to x2 the change in force is F1 to F2
so, work done = (F1+ F2)/2 * (x2- x1)
now substitute F=kx for both F1 and F2 and you get = (kx1+kx2)/2 * (x2-x1)
rearrange to get, 1/2k * (x2+ x1) (x2-x1) [(x2+x1) (x2-x1) = x2^2 - x1^2]
so, finally- work done = 1/2 k (x2^2- x1^2)
