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

There are 2.2 pounds in a kilogram. if a boys mass is 40kg, what is his height in pounds?

sasho [114]

The simplest way to do this is to set up equivalent fractions, like this-

$\frac{1}{2.2}$ = $\frac{40}{x}$

Solve for x by using cross multiplication.

40*2.2= 88
1*x=88
x=88

Therefore, the boy weighs 88lbs.

A human being can be electrocuted if a current as small as 55 mA passes near the heart. An electrician working with sweaty hands

evablogger [386]

Answer:

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Explanation:

To discover what is the lethal voltage to the electrician we need to find out what is the voltage that produces 55 mA = 0.055 A when across a resistance of 2300 Ohms (Electrician's body resistancy). For that we'll use Ohm's Law wich is expressed by the following equation:

V = i*R

Where V is the voltage we want to find out, i is the current wich is lethal to the electrician and R is his body resistance. By applying the given values we have:

V = 0.055*2300 = 126.5 V.

The lethal voltage for the electrician under those conditions is 126.5 V.

Write the formula of Lever, Pulleys, wheel and axle and inclined plane.<br>

maxonik [38]

Answer:

Lever => $d_{e} = d_{r}$

Pulley => G = M x n (gravitational acceleration)

Wheel and axle => M.A = Radius of the wheel/radius of the axle = R/r

Inclined plane => It can be divided into two components: Fi = Fg * sinθ - parallel to inclined plane. Fn = Fg * cosθ - perpendicular one.

Zero, a hypothetical planet, has a mass of 5.8 x 1023 kg, a radius of 2.7 x 106 m, and no atmosphere. a 10 kg space probe is to

Tom [10]

To answer these questions just use the equations for potential energy using the mass and heights described. the potential energy at the prescribed heights = the initial kinetic energy required to reach that height.

Make sure you calculate the force of gravity on the surface using the radius of the planet.
