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

40.6, 67.7, and 94.7 Hz. The frequency of 40.6 Hz is not necessarily the fundamental frequency. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. How deep is the well?

Answer:

Explanation:

The resonance in a tube that is open at one end and closed at the other, we can find it because in the closed part you have a node and in the open part you have a belly, so for the fundamental frequency you have ¼ Lam, the different resonances are:

Fundamental              λ = 4L

3 harmonica               λ  = 4L / 3

5 Harmonica               λ = 4L / 5

General harmonica     λ = 4L / (2n-1)                n = 1, 2, 3

Let's apply this equation to our case

The speed of sound is given by

          v =  λ  f

          λ = v / f

Let's look for wavelengths

         λ₁ = 40.6 / 343 = 0.1184 m

         λ₂ = 67.7 / 343 = 0.1974 m

         λ₃ = 94.7 / 343 = 0.2761 m

Since the wavelengths are close we can assume that it corresponds to consecutive integers, where for the first one it corresponds to the integer n

          λ ₁ = 4L / (2n-1)

          λ₂ = 4L / (2 (n + 1) -1) = 4L / (2n +1)

          λ₃ = 4L / (2 (n + 2) -1) = 4L / (2n + 3)

Let's clear in the first and second equations

          2n-1 = 4L / λ₁

          2n +1 = 4L / λ₂

Let's solve the system of equations

         4L / λ₁ + 1 = 4L / λ₂ -1

         4L / λ₂ – 4L / λ₁ = 2

         2L (1 / λ₂ - 1 / λ₁) = 1

         1 / L = 2 (1 / λ₂ -1 / λ₁)

         1 / L = 2 (1 / 0.1974 - 1 / 0.1184)

         1 / L = 2 (5,066 - 8,446) = -6.76

         L = 0.1479 m

The volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

Explanation:

In order for an object to be able to float in water, its density must be equal or smaller than the water density.

The density of water is:

\rho = 1000 kg/m^3

This means that the density of the object must be no larger than this value.

We also know that the density of an object is given by

\rho = \frac{m}{V}

where

m is the mass of the object

V is its volume

For the object in this problem, the mass is

m=1.115\cdot 10^4 kg

Therefore, we can re-arrange the equation to find its volume:

V=\frac{m}{\rho}=\frac{1.115\cdot 10^4}{1000}=11.15 m^3

So, the volume of the object must be no larger than 11.15 m^3.

A vertical wire carries a current straight down. To the east of this wire, the magnetic field points: A) toward the east. B) tow
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

option E

Explanation:

the correct answer is option E

the direction of magnetic field will be found out with the help of right hand rule.

Put you palm in the direction of electric field and curl your finger in the direction of magnetic field which east direction.

 now, the direction shown by the thumb will be the direction of magnetic field  which comes out to be toward South direction.
