One string of a certain musical instrument is 75.0cm long and has a mass of 8.77g . It is being played in a room where the speed
of sound is 344 m/s. To what tension must you adjust the string so that, when vibrating in its second overtone, it produces sound of wavelength 0.761m ?
(Assume that the breaking stress of the wire is very large and isn’t exceeded.)
The question is asking to calculate the tension that the string has to adjust the string so that when vibrating in its second overtone, it produces sound of wavelength of 0.761m, base on my calculation, the calculation must be done by the formula of <span>v=λf</span><span>., I hope this would help </span>
According to the work-energy theorem, the change in the kinetic energy of the combined mass of the child and the sled, is equal to the total work done on the object by external forces.
The external forces capable to do work on the combination of child +sled, are the friction force (opposing to the displacement), and the component of the weight parallel to the slide.
As this last work is just equal to the change in the gravitational potential energy (with opposite sign) , we can write the following equation:
ΔK, is the change in kinetic energy, as follows:
ΔU, is the change in the gravitational potential energy.
If we choose as our zero reference level, the bottom of the slope, the change in gravitational potential energy will be as follows:
Finally, the work done for non-conservative forces, is the work done by the friction force, along the slope, as follows:
Replacing (2), (3), and (4) in (1), simplifying common terms, and rearranging, we have:
Replacing by the givens and the knowns, we can solve for sin θ, as follows: ⇒ θ = sin⁻¹ (0.236) = 13.7º
