A tube is open only at one end. A certain harmonic produced by the tube has a frequency of 571 Hz. The next higher harmonic has

a frequency of 799 Hz. The speed of sound in air is 343 m/s. (a) What is the integer n that describes the harmonic whose frequency is 571 Hz? (b) What is the length of the tube?
B. A person hums into the top of a well (tube open at only one end) and finds that standing waves are established at frequencies of 36.1, 60.2, and 84.2 Hz. The frequency of 36.1 Hz is not necessarily the fundamental frequency. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. How deep is the well?

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(a) The integer n that describes the harmonic whose frequency is 571 Hz is 5

(b) The length of the tube is 0.75 m.

B. The depth of the well is 7.12 m.

Explanation:

The nth harmonic of a tube with one end closed is given by

f_n = n(\frac{v}{4L}) and the next harmonic is

f_{n+2} =(n+2)(\frac{v}{4L} )

Therefore ividing the first two equations by each other we have

\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} = \frac{n+2}{n} from which n = \frac{2}{\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} -1}

Therefore the interger that descries the first harmonic is

n = \frac{2}{\frac{799}{571} -1} = 5

(b) We have the length of the pipe given by

L = 5λ/4 but λ = v/f = 343/571 = 0.6 ∴ L  = 5*0.6/4 = 0.75 m

B. From n = \frac{2}{\frac{f_{n+2}}{f_n} -1} we have

n for the 36.1 Hz frequency

n = \frac{2}{\frac{60.2}{36.1} -1} = 3 Therefore λ = v/f = 343/36.1 = 9.5 m

L = 3*λ/4 = 3*9.5/4 = 7.12 m

The well is  7.12 m deep

An AC generator with a variable frequency and an RMS voltage output of 120 Volts is connected in series to a 3.1 μF Capacitor an
Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The RMS voltage across the resistor = 28 V

Explanation:

Capacitor: A capacitor is an electrical device that has the ability to store electrical charges in an electrical circuit. It is expressed in Farad (F)

Resistor: A resistor is an electrical device that oppose the flow of electric current in a circuit. It is expressed in ohms (Ω)

RMS Voltage : RMS voltage  value of an alternating voltage is defined as that value of steady voltage which would dissipate heat at the same rate in a given resistance

Since the it is a series circuit, the total voltage is divided across the resistance and the capacitor.

Vt = V₁ + V₂...........................Equation 1

Where Vt = total Rms voltage = 120 V ,  V₁ = Rms voltage across the Capacitor = 92 V, V₂ = Rms voltage across the resistor.

Making V₂ the subject of the equation in equation 1 above,

V₂ = Vt - V₁  = 120 - 92

V₂ = 28 V.

The RMS voltage across the resistor = 28 V
