Suppose a piano tuner hears 2 beats per second when listening to the combined sound from her tuning fork and the piano note bein

g tuned. After slightly tightening the string, she hears 1 beat per second. Should she loosen or should she further tighten the string?

Answer:

further tightening is required.

Explanation:

The beat created / sec = difference of frequencies

Initial beat heard = 2

so difference of frequencies = 2

after tightening beat heard  = 1

difference  of frequencies decreases because frequency of tuning fork was higher than piano sound.

on further tightening  difference decreases because tightening increases the frequency  of piano hence   further  tightening is required for resonance.

Complete question:

A 200 g load attached to a horizontal spring moves in simple harmonic motion with a period of 0.410 s. The total mechanical energy of the spring–load system is 2.00 J. Find

(a) the force constant of the spring and (b) the amplitude of the motion.

Answer:

(a) the force constant of the spring = 47 N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion = 0.292 m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the spring, m = 200g = 0.2 kg

period of oscillation, T = 0.410 s

total mechanical energy of the spring, E = 2 J

The angular speed is calculated as follows;

\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T} \\\\\omega = \frac{2\pi}{0.41} \\\\\omega = 15.33 \ rad/s

(a) the force constant of the spring

\omega = \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\\omega^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\\\k = m \omega^2\\\\k = (0.2)(15.33)^2\\\\k = 47 \ N/m

(b) the amplitude of the motion

E = ¹/₂kA²

2E = kA²

A² = 2E/k

A = \sqrt{\frac{2E}{k} } \\\\A = \sqrt{\frac{2\times 2}{47} }\\\\A = 0.292 \ m

PilotLPTM [1.2K]
Let the unknown distance be xmiles
x/39-x/72=11hr
72x-39x/2808=11hr
33x/2808=11
33x= 30888
x=936miles
U can substitue back to check
at speed of 72mph, he would need 936/72=13hrs
at speed of 39mph, he would need 936/39=24hr
the difference is 24-13=11

iris [78.8K]

Answer:

0.25 m

Explanation:

Refraction occurs when the velocity or wavelength of a wave changes at the interface between two media.

We know that refractive index=

Wavelength in medium A/wavelength in medium B = velocity in medium A/velocity in medium B

Let the wavelength of medium B be a

0.5/a = 0.3/0.15

0.5 × 0.15 = 0.3 × a

a= 0.5 × 0.15/0.3

a= 0.25 m
