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

What does the slope on a velocity-time graph measure?
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:The slope in the velocity-time graph represents the acceleration. The slope is defined as the ratio of change in y-axis to change in the x-axis. The slope is represented by the letter m and following is the general formula used for determining the slope:

How does mass and force affect the motion of an object?
djyliett [7]
The greater the mass of an object, the more inertia it has, so the object resists changes to its motion better.
