A violin string is 45.0 cm long and has a mass of 0.242 g. When tightened on the neck of the violin, the distance between the pi

n and fret is 42.5 cm. If the string is tightened to play a 'Concert A' of 440. Hz as its fundamental/ first harmonic, what is the tension in the violin string

Answer:

The tension is 75.22 Newtons

Explanation:

The velocity of a wave on a rope is:

v=\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}} (1)

With T the tension, L the length of the string and M its mass.

Another more general expression for the velocity of a wave is the product of the wavelength (λ) and the frequency (f) of the wave:

v= \lambda f (2)

We can equate expression (1) and (2):

\sqrt{\frac{TL}{M}}=\lambda f

Solving for T

T= \frac{M(\lambda f)^2}{L} (3)

For this expression we already know M, f, and L. And indirectly we already know λ too. On a string fixed at its extremes we have standing waves ant the equation of the wavelength in function the number of the harmonic N_{harmonic} is:

\lambda_{harmonic}=\frac{2l}{N_{harmonic}}

It's is important to note that in our case L the length of the string is different from l the distance between the pin and fret to produce a Concert A, so for the first harmonic:

\lambda_{1}=\frac{2(0.425m)}{1}=0.85 m

We can now find T on (3) using all the values we have:

T= \frac{2.42\times10^{-3}(0.85* 440)^2}{0.45}

T=75.22 N

Convert 7.93 lbs into grams. Hint: 1 kg = 2.2 lbs
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

7.93 lbs is equal to 3596.987 grams.

Explanation:

The weight in grams is equal to the pounds multiplied by 453.59237.

So... you would multiply 7.93 by 453.59237.

7.93 x 453.59237 = 3596.987

Hope that helped!

A machine that operates a ride at the fair requires 2500 J to lift a 294 N child 5.0 m. What is the efficiency of this machine?
NeX [460]

Answer:

η = 58.8%

Explanation:

Work is defined as the force applied by the distance traveled by the body.

W =F*d

where:

W = work [J] (units of joules)

F = force = 294 [N]

d = distance = 5 [m]

W = 294*5\\W = 1470 [J]\\

Efficiency is defined as the energy required to perform an activity in relation to the energy actually added to perform some activity. This can be better understood by means of the following equation.

efficiency = W_{done}/W_{required}\\efficiency = 1470/2500\\efficiency = 0.588 = 58.8%
