Two taut strings of identical mass and length are stretched with their ends fixed, but the tension in one string is 1.10 times g

reater than in the other. Waves on the string with the lower tension propagate at 35.2 m/s. The fundamental frequency of that string is 258 Hz. What is the beat frequency when each string is vibrating at its fundamental frequency?

Answer:

The  beat frequency when each string is vibrating at its fundamental frequency is 12.6 Hz

Explanation:

Given;

velocity of wave on the string with lower tension, v₁ = 35.2 m/s

the fundamental frequency of the string, F₁ = 258 Hz

<u>velocity of wave on the string with greater tension;</u>

v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{\mu }

where;

v₁ is the velocity of wave on the string with lower tension

T₁ is tension on the string

μ is mass per unit length

v_1 = \sqrt{\frac{T_1}{\mu} } \\\\v_1^2 = \frac{T_1}{\mu} \\\\\mu = \frac{T_1}{v_1^2} \\\\ \frac{T_1}{v_1^2} =  \frac{T_2}{v_2^2}\\\\v_2^2 = \frac{T_2v_1^2}{T_1}

Where;

T₁ lower tension

T₂ greater tension

v₁ velocity of wave in string with lower tension

v₂ velocity of wave in string with greater tension

From the given question;

T₂ = 1.1 T₁

v_2^2 = \frac{T_2v_1^2}{T_1}  \\\\v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{T_2v_1^2}{T_1}} \\\\v_2 = \sqrt{\frac{1.1T_1*(35.2)^2}{T_1}}\\\\v_2 = \sqrt{1.1(35.2)^2} = 36.92 \ m/s

<u>Fundamental frequency of wave on the string with greater tension;</u>

<u />f = \frac{v}{2l} \\\\2l = \frac{v}{f} \\\\thus, \frac{v_1}{f_1}  =\frac{v_2}{f_2} \\\\f_2 = \frac{f_1v_2}{v_1} \\\\f_2 =\frac{258*36.92}{35.2} \\\\f_2 = 270.6 \ Hz<u />

Beat frequency = F₂ - F₁

                          = 270.6 - 258

                          = 12.6 Hz

Therefore, the  beat frequency when each string is vibrating at its fundamental frequency is 12.6 Hz

Drupady [299]

The phases of the moon are the changing appearances of the moon, as seen from Earth. Which phase happens immediately after a third quarter moon are the following

Explanation:

  • After the full moon (maximum illumination), the light continually decreases. So the waning gibbous phase occurs next. Following the third quarter is the waning crescent, which wanes until the light is completely gone -- a new moon.

waning gibbous phase

  • The waning gibbous phase occurs between the full moon and third quarter phases. The last quarter moon (or a half moon) is when half of the lit portion of the Moon is visible after the waning gibbous phase.

Time takes by the moon to go through all the phases

about 29.5 days

  • It takes 27 days, 7 hours, and 43 minutes for our Moon to complete one full orbit around Earth. This is called the sidereal month, and is measured by our Moon's position relative to distant “fixed” stars. However, it takes our Moon about 29.5 days to complete one cycle of phases (from new Moon to new Moon).
  • At 3rd quarter, the moon rises at midnight and sets at noon. Then we see only a crescent. At new, the moon rises at sunrise and sets at sunset, and we don't see any of the illuminated side!
