A tuning fork's job is to establish a single note that everybody can tune to.

Most tuning forks are made to vibrate at 440 Hz, a tone known to musicians as "concert A." To tune a piano, you would start by playing the piano's "A" key while ringing an "A" tuning fork. If the piano is out of tune, you'll hear a distinct warble between the note you're playing and the note played by the tuning fork; the further apart the warbles, the more out-of-tune the piano. By either tightening or loosening the piano's strings, you reduce the warble until it's in line with the tuning fork. Once the "A" key is in tune, you would then adjust all of the instrument's 87 other keys to match. The method is much the same for most other instruments. Whether you're tuning a clarinet or guitar, simply play a concert A and adjust your instrument accordingly

Explanation:

It can be a bit tricky to hold a tuning fork while manipulating an instrument, which is why some musicians decide to clench the base of a ringing tuning fork in their teeth. This has the unique effect of transmitting sound through your bones, allowing your brain to "hear" the tone through your jaw. According to some urban legends, touching your teeth with a vibrating tuning fork is enough to make them explode. It's a myth, obviously, but if you have a cavity or a chipped tooth, you'll quickly find this method to be unbelievably painful.

Luckily, you can also buy tuning forks that come mounted on top of a resonator, a hollow wooden box designed to amplify a tuning fork's vibrations. In 1860, a pair of German inventors even devised a battery-powered tuning fork that musicians didn't need to ring again and again

Joe balances a stationary coin on the the tip of his finger 20 cm from the top of the table. How much work is Joe doing?
adell [148]

The work done by Joe is 0 J.

<u>Explanation</u>:

When a force is applied to an object, there will be a movement because of the applied force to a certain distance. This transfer of energy when a force is applied to an object that tends to move the object is known as work done.

The energy is transferred from one state to another and the stored energy is equal to the work done.

                                 W = F . D

where F represents the force in newton,  

          D represents the distance or displacement of an object.

Force = 0 N,   D = 20 cm = 0.20 m

                                 W = 0 \times 0.20 = 0 J.

Hence the work done by Joe is 0 J.
