It is called "alternating current" or "ac current".

An alternating current is a current the periodically changes direction. Basically, the voltage difference applied at the two ends of the wire / of the circuit is constantly reversed. This means that at some point electrons travel in one direction, then the voltage is switched (i.e. the polarities are exchanged) and the electrons start to flow into the opposite direction, and so on.

You have a stopped pipe of adjustable length close to a taut 62.0 cmcm, 7.25 gg wire under a tension of 4710 NN. You want to adj
Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

6 cm long

Explanation:

F = 4110N

Vo(speed of sound) = 344m/s

Mass = 7.25g = 0.00725kg

L = 62.0cm = 0.62m

Speed of a wave in string is

V = √(F / μ)

V = speed of the wave

F = force of tension acting on the string

μ = mass per unit density

F(n) = n (v / 2L)

L = string length

μ = mass / length

μ = 0.00725 / 0.62

μ = 0.0116 ≅ 0.0117kg/m

V = √(F / μ)

V = √(4110 / 0.0117)

v = 592.69m/s

Second overtone n = 3 since it's the third harmonic

F(n) = n * (v / 2L)

F₃ = 3 * [592.69 / (2 * 0.62)

F₃ = 1778.07 / 1.24 = 1433.927Hz

The frequency for standing wave in a stopped pipe

f = n (v / 4L)

Since it's the first fundamental, n = 1

1433.93 = 344 / 4L

4L = 344 / 1433.93

4L = 0.2399

L = 0.0599

L = 0.06cm

L = 6cm

The pipe should be 6 cm long
