A flute is designed so that it plays a frequency of 261.6 Hz, middle C, when all the holes are covered and the temperature is 20

.0°C. (a) Consider the flute to be a pipe open at both ends and find its length, assuming the middle-C frequency is the fundamental frequency. (Give your answer to at least three decimal places.)(b) A second player, nearby in a colder roomalso attempts to play middle C on an identical flute. A beatfrequency of 3.00 beats/s is heard. What is the temperatureof the room?

Answer:

0.655 m

13.468°C

Explanation:

v = Speed of sound at 20.0°C = 343 m/s (general value)

For one both end open we have the expression

$L=\dfrac{\lambda_1}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{\dfrac{v}{f_1}}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=\dfrac{\dfrac{343}{261.6}}{2}\\\Rightarrow L=0.655581039755\ m$

The length of the flute is 0.655 m

Beat frequency is given by

$\Delta f=f_1-f_2\\\Rightarrow 3=261.6-f_2\\\Rightarrow f_2=261.6-3\\\Rightarrow f_2=258.6\ Hz$

Velocity of the wave is

$v=f_2\lambda_1\\\Rightarrow v=258.6\times \dfrac{343}{261.6}\\\Rightarrow v=339.066513761\ m/s$

The temperature is given by

$T=273(\dfrac{v}{331})^2\\\Rightarrow T=273(\dfrac{339.066513761}{331})^2\\\Rightarrow T=286.468227799\ K=286.468227799-273=13.468227799^{\circ}C$

The temperature of the room is 13.468°C

A mountaintop is a height y above the level ground. A woman measures the angle of elevation of the mountaintop to be θ when she

valentina_108 [34]

Let t = Theta and p = Phi
Tan t = y/x Then x =y/Tant.
Tant = y/(x-d) x-d = y/Tanp
y/Tant - d = y/Tanp
y -d*Tanr = y*Tant/Tanp
y-y*Tant/Tanp = d*Tanr
y(1 - Tanr/Tanp = d*Tant

y = d*Tant/(1-Tant/Tanp)

Sam, whose mass is 75 kg, straps on his skis and starts down a 50-m-high, 20 frictionless slope. A strong headwind exerts a hori

LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Sam mass=75kg

Height is 50m

20° frictionless slope

Horizontal force on Sam is 200N

According to the work energy theorem, the net work done on Sam will be equal to his change in kinetic energy.

Therefore

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

Note initial the body was at rest at top of the slope.

Then, ∆K.E is K.E(final) - K.E(initial)

K.E Is given as ½mv²

Since initial velocity is zero then, K.E(initial ) is zero

Therefore, ∆K.E=½mVf²

Wg is work done by gravity and it is given by using P.E formulas

Wg=mgh

Wg=75×9.8×50

Wg=36750J

Ww is work done by wind and it's is given by using formulae for work

Work=force × distance

Ww=horizontal force × horizontal distance

Using Trig.

TanX=opposite/adjacent

Tan20=h/x

x=h/tan20

x=50/tan20

x=137.37m

Then,

Ww=F×x

Ww=200×137.37

We=27474J

Now applying the formula

Wg - Ww =∆K.E

36750 - 27474 =½×75×Vf²

9276=37.5Vf²

Vf²=9275/37.5

Vf²= 247.36

Vf=√247.36

Vf=15.73m/s

Find the three longest wavelengths (call them λ1, λ2, and λ3) that "fit" on the string, that is, those that satisfy the boundary

zepelin [54]

If you have a string that is fixed on both ends the amplitude of the oscillation must be zero at the beginning and the end of the string. Take a look at the pictures I have attached. It is clear that our fundamental harmonic will have the wavelength of:
$\lambda_1=\frac{L}{2}$
All the higher harmonics are just multiples of the fundamental:
$\lambda_n=n\lambda_1\\ \lambda_n=n\frac{L}{2}$
Three longest wavelengths are:
$n=3; \lambda_3=\frac{3L}{2}\\
n=2; \lambda_2=L\\
n=1; \lambda_=\frac{L}{2}\\
$
