To determine how much time it takes for the temperature of the water bath to rise by 1 degree Kelvin due to the oscillating string, we need to analyze the energy transfer from the string to the water. Let's break this down step by step.

Understanding the Energy in the Oscillating String

The string oscillates vertically, and its displacement is given by the equation:

y(x=0, t) = 8sin(4t) (cm)

This indicates that the maximum displacement (amplitude) is 8 cm, and the angular frequency (ω) is 4 rad/s. The total mechanical energy (E) in the oscillating string can be calculated using the formula for potential energy in a harmonic oscillator:

Calculating the Energy of the String

The potential energy (U) at maximum displacement can be expressed as:

U = (1/2) * k * A²

Where:

• k is the spring constant of the string.
• A is the amplitude of oscillation.

To find the spring constant (k), we can relate it to the tension (T) and the linear mass density (μ) of the string:

k = T / L

Here, T is the tension (1 N) and L is the length of the string. However, we can also use the formula for the wave speed (v) on the string:

v = sqrt(T / μ)

Since we know T and μ, we can find v:

v = sqrt(1 N / 0.2 kg/m) = sqrt(5) m/s ≈ 2.236 m/s

Finding the Energy Transfer

The energy transferred to the water bath per oscillation can be calculated using the potential energy at maximum displacement:

U = (1/2) * (T / L) * A²

Assuming the length of the string is 1 m for simplicity, we can calculate:

U = (1/2) * 1 N * (0.08 m)² = 0.5 * 1 * 0.0064 = 0.0032 J

This is the energy transferred to the water in each oscillation. The frequency (f) of oscillation can be found from the angular frequency:

f = ω / (2π) = 4 / (2π) ≈ 0.6366 Hz

Thus, the energy transferred to the water per second (P) is:

P = U * f = 0.0032 J * 0.6366 Hz ≈ 0.00203 J/s

Calculating the Heat Transfer to the Water

Given that the heat transfer efficiency is 50%, the effective power (P_eff) transferred to the water is:

P_eff = 0.00203 J/s * 0.5 = 0.001015 J/s

Determining the Time for Temperature Increase

To find out how long it takes to raise the temperature of 1 kg of water by 1 degree Kelvin, we can use the specific heat capacity of water (c), which is approximately 4184 J/(kg·K). The energy required (Q) to raise the temperature is given by:

Q = mcΔT

Where:

• m = mass of water (1 kg)
• c = specific heat capacity (4184 J/(kg·K))
• ΔT = change in temperature (1 K)

Thus, the energy required to raise the temperature by 1 K is:

Q = 1 kg * 4184 J/(kg·K) * 1 K = 4184 J

Final Calculation of Time

Now, we can find the time (t) required to transfer this amount of energy at the effective power:

t = Q / P_eff = 4184 J / 0.001015 J/s ≈ 4124.5 seconds

So, it will take approximately 4125 seconds, or about 1 hour and 7 minutes, for the temperature of the water bath to rise by 1 degree Kelvin due to the energy transferred from the oscillating string.
