Air pressure is the wi get of air molecules pressing down on the earth. The pressure of the air molecules changes as you move upward from sea level into the atmosphere, the highest pressure is at sea level where the density of the air molecules is the greatest.

A pipe open only at one end has a fundamental frequency of 266 Hz. A second pipe, initially identical to the first pipe, is shor

Alika [10]

Answer:

1.16cm were cut off the end of the second pipe

Explanation:

The fundamental frequency in the first pipe is,

Since the speed of sound is not given in the question, we would assume it to be 340m/s

f1 = v/4L, where v is the speed of sound and L is the length of the pipe

266 = 340/4L

L = 0.31954 m = 0.32 m

It is given that the second pipe is identical to the first pipe by cutting off a portion of the open end. So, consider L’ be the length that was cut from the first pipe.

So, the length of the second pipe is L – L’

Then, the fundamental frequency in the second pipe is

f2 = v/4(L - L’)

The beat frequency due to the fundamental frequencies of the first and second pipe is

f2 – f1 = 10hz

[v/4(L - L’)] – 266 = 10

[v/4(L – L’)] = 10 + 266

[v/4(L – L’)] = 276

(L - L’) = v/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 340/(4 x 276)

(L – L’) = 0.30797

L’ = 0.31954 – 0.30797
