An organ pipe open at both ends has two successive harmonics with frequencies of 220 Hz and 240 Hz. What is the length of the pi
1 answer:
Answer:
The length is
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The frequencies of the two successive harmonics are ,
The speed of sound in the air is
Generally the frequency of a given harmonic is mathematically represented as
Here n defines the position of the harmonics
Now since the position of both harmonic is not know but we know that they successive then we can represented them mathematically as
and
So

Answer:
X-Positions: Y-Positions
x(0) = 0 y(0) = 0
x(2) = 120 m y(2) = 19.6 m
x(4) = 240 m y(4) = 78.4 m
x(6) = 360 m y(6) = 176.4 m
x(8) = 480 m y(8) = 313 m
x(10) = 600m y (10) = 490 m
Explanation:
X-Positions
- First, we choose to take the horizontal direction as our x-axis, and the positive x-axis as positive.
- After being thrown, in the horizontal direction, no external influence acts on the stone, so it will continue in the same direction at the same initial speed of 60. 0 m/s
- So, in order to know the horizontal position at any time t, we can apply the definition of average velocity, rearranging terms, as follows:
- It can be seen that after 2 s, the displacement will be 120 m, and each 2 seconds, as the speed is constant, the displacement will increase in the same 120 m each time.
Y-Positions
- We choose to take the vertical direction as our y-axis, taking the downward direction as our positive axis.
- As both axes are perpendicular each other, both movements are independent each other also, so, in the vertical direction, the stone starts from rest.
- At any moment, it is subject to the acceleration of gravity, g.
- As the acceleration is constant, we can find the vertical displacement (taking the height of the cliff as the initial reference level), using the following kinematic equation:
- Replacing by the values of t, we get the following vertical positions, from the height of the cliff as y = 0:
- y(2) = 2* 9.8 m/s2 = 19.6 m
- y(4) = 8* 9.8 m/s2 = 78.4 m
- y(6) = 18*9.8 m/s2 = 176.4 m
- y(8) = 32*9.8 m/s2 = 313.6 m
- y(10)= 50 * 9.8 m/s2 = 490.0 m
