Awater tower is idealized as a mass m on top of a uniform and massless beam. the bottom end of the beam is fixed to the ground. the beam has solid circular cross section with a diameter of 1.2 m. its young’s modulus is 30 gpa, and its length is 10 m. the mass m is 20 tons. find the natural frequency and natural period of this system in lateral oscillations.

Molten iron fills a mould, which has a volume of 200 cm cubed. calculate the volume when the iron cools and solidifies. molten iron has a density of 7.0g/cm cubed. in its solid state, iron has a density of 8.0g/cm cubed.

In a thunderstorm, charge builds up on the water droplets or ice crystals in a cloud. thus, the charge can be considered to be distributed uniformly throughout the cloud. for the purposes of this problem, take the cloud to be a sphere of diameter 1.00 kilometer. the point of this problem is to estimate the maximum amount of charge that this cloud can contain, assuming that the charge builds up until the electric field at the surface of the cloud reaches the value at which the surrounding air breaks down. this breakdown means that the air becomes highly ionized, enabling it to conduct the charge from the cloud to the ground or another nearby cloud. the ionized air will then emit light due to the recombination of the electrons and atoms to form excited molecules that radiate light. in addition, the large current will heat up the air, resulting in its rapid expansion. these two phenomena account for the appearance of lightning and the sound of thunder. take the breakdown electric field of air to be eb=3.00ă—106n/c. part a estimate the total charge q on the cloud when the breakdown of the surrounding air is reached. express your answer numerically, to three significant figures, using ďµ0=8.85ă—10â’12c2/(nâ‹…m2) .
