Which instrument produces the sound of a single frequency?

1 answer:

6 0

NO musical instrument produces a 'pure' tone with only a
single frequency in it.

EVERY instrument produces more or less harmonics (multiples)
in addition to the basic frequency it's playing.

The percussion instruments (drums etc) are the richest producers
of bunches of different frequencies.

Fuzzy electric guitars are next richest.

The strings and brass instruments are moderate producers of
harmonics ... I can't remember which is greater than the other.

Then come the woodwinds ... clarinet, oboe, etc.

The closest to 'pure' tones of single frequency are the sounds
made by the flute and piccolo, but even these are far from 'pure'.

The only way to get a true single-frequency sound is from an
electronic 'sine wave' generator.

The answer is no moons at all. That's right, Venus (and the planet Mercury) are the only two planets that don't havea single natural moon orbiting them. Figuring out why is one question keeping astronomers busy as they study the Solar System.

cluponka [151]

Answer:

The centripetal force on body 2 is 8 times of the centripetal force in body 1.

Explanation:

Body 1 has a mass m, and its moving in a circle with a radius r at a speed v. The centripetal force acting on it is given by :

$F=\dfrac{mv^2}{r}$

Body 2 has a mass 2m and its moving in a circle of radius 4r at a speed 4v. The centripetal force on body 2 is :

$F'=\dfrac{2m\times (4v)^2}{4r}\\\\F'=\dfrac{2m\times 16v^2}{4r}\\\\F'=8\dfrac{mv^2}{r}\\\\F'=8F$

So, the centripetal force on body 2 is 8 times of the centripetal force in body 1.
