If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind.

The air pressure variations in the vortexes tend to cause the line to oscillate (gallop), especially if the frequency of the variations matches a resonant frequency of the line. In long lines, the resonant frequencies are so close that almost any wind speed can set up a resonant mode vigorous enough to pull down support towers or cause the line to short out with an adjacent line. If a transmission line has a length of 347 m, a linear density of 4.35 kg/m, and a tension of 65.4 MN, what are (a) the frequency of the fundamental mode and (b) the frequency difference between successive modes

Answer:

a) f_1=5.587Hz

b) f_{n+1}-f_n=5.587Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of the n^{th} harmonic of a vibrating string of length <em>L, </em>linear density \mu under a tension <em>T</em> is given by the formula:

f_n=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}

a) So for the <em>fundamental mode</em> (n=1) we have, substituting our values:

f_1=\frac{1}{2(347m)} \sqrt{\frac{65.4\times10^6N}{4.35kg/m}}=5.587Hz

b) The <em>frequency difference</em> between successive modes is the fundamental frequency, since:

f_{n+1}-f_n=\frac{n+1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}-\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=(n+1-n)\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=\frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}=f_1=5.587Hz

A rocket is launched straight up from the earth's surface at a speed of 1.60×104 m/s . what is its speed when it is very far awa
AlladinOne [14]
16,000 m/s
Since it’s speed, and the distance is unknown. Gravity isn’t applying a noticeable force too on the rocket, as if it were, then the rocket would be accelerating negatively.

If a soundproof door is almost shut but still leaves a small opening, what wave phenomenon is responsible for someone being able
lana66690 [7]

The phenomenon which is responsible for this effect is called diffraction.

Diffraction is the ability of a wave to propagate when it meets an obstacle or a slit. When the wave encounters the obstacle or the slit, it 'bends' around it and it continues propagate beyond it. A classical example of this phenomenon is when a sound wave propagates through a wall where there is a small aperture (as in the example of this problem)
