Two identical mandolin strings under 200 N of tension are sounding tones with frequencies of 590 Hz. The peg of one string slips

slightly, and the tension in it drops to 192 N. How many beats per second are heard?

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to frequency and vibration of strings. Mathematically the frequency can be expressed as

f = \frac{v}{\lambda}

Then the relation between two different frequencies with same wavelength would be

\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'/\wavelength}{v/\wavelength}

\frac{f'}{f} = \frac{v'}{v}

The beat frequency heard when the two strings are sounded simultaneously is

f_{beat} = f-f'

f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{f'}{f})

f_{beat} = f(1-\frac{v'}{v})

We have the velocity of the transverse waves in stretched string as

v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}

v = \sqrt{\frac{200N}{\mu}}

And,

v' = \sqrt{\frac{196N}{\mu}}

Therefore the relation between the two is,

\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{\frac{192}{200}}

\frac{v'}{v} = \sqrt{0.96}

Finally substituting this value at the frequency beat equation we have

f_{beat} = 590(1-\sqrt{0-96})

f_{beat} = 11.92Hz

Therefore the beats per second are 11.92Hz

Ulleksa [173]

Answer:

The new length is 50.00885m

Explanation:

linear thermal expansion coefficient Fe 11.8e-6 /K

The new length can be determined using the following equation:

∆L/L = α∆T, where α is linear thermal expansion coefficient

∆L = Lα∆T = 50(11.8e-6)(35-20) = 0.00885 m

New length = ( 50.000 + 0.00885)m =

New length = 50.00885 m

Elanso [62]

Answer:

c) The slope is not constant and increases with increasing time.

Explanation:

The equation for the position of this particle (starting from rest is)

s = at^2/2 = 5t^2/2 = 2.5t^2

We can take derivative of this with respect to time t to get the equation of slope:

s' = (2.5t^2)' = 2*2.5t = 5t

As time t increase, the slope would increases with time as well.

Answer: oceanic crust moved over the hot spot, each recently formed volcano was carried away from the hot spot toward the northwest, cutting off its source of lava. Meanwhile, a new island was forming so that over time a chain of islands was produced extending away from the hot spot.ANSWER HERE: This mean that volcanos are producing these new islands and it is creating a chain of different islands all over Hawaii.
