Suppose that the range of output frequencies is from 89.2 Hz to 13.9 kHz for a pipe organ. Take 343 m/s for the speed of sound.

(a) What is the length (in units of m) of the longest pipe open at both ends and producing sound at its fundamental frequency? (b) What is the length (in units of m) of the shortest pipe open at both ends and producing sound at its fundamental frequency?

Answer:

a) L = 1,923 m , b) L = 0.012 m

Explanation:

This is a resonance problem, if the tube is open at both ends it has a

a maximum in each one, the waves must fulfill the relationship

          λ = 2L / n

Where n is an integer and L the length of the tube

Let's use the ratio of the speed of sound

        v = λ f

        v = 2L f / n

        L = v/2f     n

The fundamental frequency corresponds to n = 1

        L = v / 2f

a) for the smallest frequency

f = 89.2 Hz

        L = 343 / (2 89.2)

        L = 1,923 m

b) for the highest frequency

f = 13.9 kHz = 13.9 10³ Hz

        L = 343 / (2 13.9 10³)

        L = 12.338 10⁻³ m

        L = 0.012 m

QUESTION: A pure jet engine propels and aircraft at 340 m/s through air at 45 kPa and -13C. The inlet diameter of this engine is 1.6 m, the compressor pressure ratio is 13, and the temperature at the turbine inlet is 557C. Determine the velocity at the exit of this engines nozzle and the thrust produced.

ANSWER: Due to the propulsion from the inlet diameter of this engine bring 1.6 m allows the compressor rations to radiate allowing thrust propultion above all velocitic rebisomes.

A fisherman notices that his boat is moving up and down periodically, owing to waves on the surface of the water. It takes 2.5 s
gulaghasi [49]

(a) 0.96 m/s

The period of the wave corresponds to the time taken for one complete oscillation of the boat, from the highest point to the highest point again. Since the time between the highest point and the lowest point is 2.5 s, the period is twice this time:

T=2\cdot 2.5 s=5.0 s

The frequency of the waves is the reciprocal of the period:

f=\frac{1}{T}=\frac{1}{5.0 s}=0.20 Hz

The wavelength instead is just the distance between two consecutive crests, so

\lambda=4.8 m

And the wave speed is given by:

v=\lambda f=(4.8 m)(0.20 Hz)=0.96 m/s

(b) 0.265 m

The total distance between the highest point of the wave and its lowest point is

d = 0.53 m

The amplitude is just the maximum displacement of the wave from the equilibrium position, so it is equal to half of this distance. So, the amplitude is

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.53 m}{2}=0.265 m

(c) Amplitude: 0.15 m, wave speed: same as before

In this case, the amplitude of the wave would be lower. In fact,

d = 0.30 m

So the amplitude would be

A=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{0.30 m}{2}=0.15 m

Instead, the wave speed would not change, since neither the frequency nor the wavelength of the wave have changed.

Why the bulb of thermometer in cylindrical
crimeas [40]
I'm not accurately sure if you're asking for why the bulb of a thermometer is in a cylindrical shape. So let me continue. The shape of the which is thin and cylindrical in the shape is the increase of the effect of mercury in the tube to rise and fall depending on the contact temperature.

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

\alpha =-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2

Explanation:

Angular acceleration is defined by \alpha =\frac{\Delta \omega}{\Delta t}=\frac{\omega_f-\omega_i}{\Delta t}

Angular velocity is related to the period by \omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}

Putting all together:

\alpha =\frac{\frac{2\pi}{T_f}-\frac{2\pi}{T_i}}{\Delta t}=\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})

Taking our initial (i) point now and our final (f) point one year later, we would have:

\Delta t=1\ year=(365)(24)(60)(60)s=31536000
s

T_i=0.0786s

T_f=0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s

So for our values we have:

\alpha =\frac{2\pi}{\Delta t}(\frac{1}{T_f}-\frac{1}{T_i})=\frac{2\pi}{31536000s}(\frac{1}{0.0786s+7.03\times10^{-6}s}-\frac{1}{0.0786s})=-2.2669642\times^{-10}rad/s^2

Where the minus sign indicates it is decelerating.
