Answer:f1 = 7.90Hz, f2= 15.811Hz, f3 = 23.71Hz.

Explanation: length of string = 10m, mass of string = 100g = 0.1kg, T= 250N

We need the velocity of sound wave in a string when plucked with a tension T, this is given below as

v = √T/u

Where u = mass /length = 0.1/ 10 = 0.01kg/m

Hence v = √250/0.01, v = √25,000 = 158.11

a) at the lowest frequency.

At the lowest frequency, the length of string is related to the wavelength with the formulae below

L = λ/2, λ= 2L.

λ = 2 * 10

λ = 20m.

But v = fλ where v = 158.11m/s and λ= 20m

f = v/ λ

f = 158.11/ 20

f = 7.90Hz.

b) at the first frequency.

The length of string and wavelength for this case is

L = λ.

Hence λ = 10m

v = 158.11m/s

v= fλ

f = v/λ

f = 158.11/10

f = 15.811Hz

c) at third frequency

The length of string is related to the wavelength of sound with the formulae below

L =3λ/2, hence λ = 2L /3

λ = 2 * 10 / 3

λ = 20/3

λ= 6.67m

v = fλ where v = 158.11m/s, λ= 6.67m

f = v/λ

f = 158.11/6.67

f = 23.71Hz.

the height of seven falls in colorado is 5/2 the height of twin falls in idahi. the sum of the two heights is 420 ft. find the h
Masja [62]
Let height of twin falls = x
height of seven falls = 2.5x

x + 2.5x = 420
3.5x = 420
x = 420/3.5 = 120

so twin falls = x = 120 ft
seven falls = 2.5x = 300 ft
