Fundamental frequency,

f=v2l=T/μ−−−−√2l

=(50)/0.1×10−3/10−22×0.6−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√

=58.96Hz

Let, n th harmonic is the hightest frequency, then

(58.93)n = 20000

∴N=339.38

Hence, 339 is the highest frequency.

∴fmax=(339)(58.93)Hz=19977Hz.

<h3>What is frequency?</h3>

In physics, frequency is the number of waves that pass a given point in a unit of time as well as the number of cycles or vibrations that a body in periodic motion experiences in a unit of time. After moving through a sequence of situations or locations and then returning to its initial position, a body in periodic motion is said to have experienced one cycle or one vibration. See also simple harmonic motion and angular velocity.

You have a light spring which obeys Hooke's law. This spring stretches 2.92 cm vertically when a 2.70 kg object is suspended fro

ehidna [41]

(a) 907.5 N/m

The force applied to the spring is equal to the weight of the object suspended on it, so:

$F=mg=(2.70 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=26.5 N$

The spring obeys Hook's law:

$F=k\Delta x$

where k is the spring constant and $\Delta x$ is the stretching of the spring. Since we know $\Delta x=2.92 cm=0.0292 m$ , we can re-arrange the equation to find the spring constant:

$k=\frac{F}{\Delta x}=\frac{26.5 N}{0.0292 m}=907.5 N/m$

(b) 1.45 cm

In this second case, the force applied to the spring will be different, since the weight of the new object is different:

$F=mg=(1.35 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=13.2 N$

So, by applying Hook's law again, we can find the new stretching of the spring (using the value of the spring constant that we found in the previous part):

$\Delta x=\frac{F}{k}=\frac{13.2 N}{907.5 N/m}=0.0145 m=1.45 cm$

(c) 3.5 J

The amount of work that must be done to stretch the string by a distance $\Delta x$ is equal to the elastic potential energy stored by the spring, given by:

$W=U=\frac{1}{2}k\Delta x^2$
