Explanation:
When a standing wave is formed with six loops means the normal mode of the wave is n=6, the frequency of the normal mode is given by the expression:
Where is the length of the string and
the velocity of propagation. Use this expression to find the value of
.
The velocity of propagation is given by the expression:
Where is the desirable variable of the problem, the linear mass density, and
is the tension of the cord. The tension is equal to the weight of the mass hanging from the cord:
With the value of the tension and the velocity you can find the mass density:
Answer:
Explanation:
The frequency is 16.0 Hz. That means that 16 of these waves can pass a single point in 1 second. We are given frequency and wavelength. The equation that relates them is
where f is frequency, v is velocity, and λ is wavelength. Putting all this together:
and solving for velocity,
v = 16.0(97.5) so
v = 1560 m/s. This wave can travel 1560 meters in a single second!!! Now that we know this velocity, we can use it in a proportion to find our unknown, which is how long, t, it will take to hear this sound 11000m away. (11 km is 11000m):
and cross multiply to get
1560t = 11000 so
t = 7.1 seconds
