. A flute is designed so that it plays a frequency of 261.6 Hz, middle C, when all the holes are covered and the temperature is

20.0o C. (a) Consider the flute to be a pipe, open at both ends, and find its length, assuming that the middle-C frequency is the fundamental. (b) A second player, nearby in a colder room, also attempts to play middle C on an identical flute. A beat frequency of 3.00 Hz is heard. What is the temperature of the room

Answer:

Explanation:

The first case relates to open end pipe with fundamental frequency . Let the length of flute be l . The length vibrating column is l .

λ = v / n where n is frequency , v is velocity of light and λ is wavelength of sound produced .

λ = 343 / 261.6

= 1.31 m .

For fundamental frequency

λ / 2 = l

l = λ / 2

= 1.31 / 2

= .655 m

= 65.5 cm .

b )

Nearby colder room will create lower frequency because velocity of sound will be smaller .

frequency of note produced = 261.6 - 3 = 258.6 Hz .

velocity of sound v = n λ

= 258.6 x 1.31 m

= 338.76 m /s

decrease of velocity = 343 - 338.76 = 4.24 m /s

1 degree change in temperature produces a change of .61 m/s change in velocity .

decrease in temperature = 4.24 / .61

= 7⁰C

Temperature of colder room = 20 - 7 = 13⁰C .

The length of a simple pendulum is 0.81 mand the mass of the particle (the "bob") at the end of the cable is0.23 kg. The pendulu

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

$M=0.0182\ J$

$v=0.398\ m/s$

Explanation:

<u>Simple Pendulum</u>

It's a simple device constructed with a mass (bob) tied to the end of an inextensible rope of length L and let swing back and forth at small angles. The movement is referred to as Simple Harmonic Motion (SHM).

(a) The angular frequency of the motion is computed as

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{g}{L}}$

We have the length of the pendulum is L=0.81 meters, then we have

$\displaystyle w=\sqrt{\frac{9.8}{0.81}}$

$\displaystyle w=3.478\ rad/sec$

(b) The total mechanical energy is computed as the sum of the kinetic energy K and the potential energy U. At its highest point, the kinetic energy is zero, so the mechanical energy is pure potential energy, which is computed as

$U=mgh$

where h is measured to the reference level (the lowest point). Please check the figure below, to see the desired height is denoted as Y. We know that

$H+Y=L$

And

$H=L\ cos\alpha$

Solving for Y

$Y=L(1-cos\alpha )$

$Since\ \alpha=8.1^o, L=0.81\ m$

$Y=0.0081\ m$

The potential energy is

$U=mgh=0.23\ kg(9.8\ m/s^2)(0.0081\ m)$

$U=0.0182\ J$

The mechanical energy is, then

$M=K+U=0+U=U$

$M=0.0182\ J$

(c) The maximum speed is achieved when it passes through the lowest point (the reference for h=0), so the mechanical energy becomes all kinetic energy (K). We know

$\displaystyle K=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

Equating to the mechanical energy of the system (M)

$\displaystyle \frac{mv^2}{2}=0.0182$

Solving for v

$\displaystyle v=\sqrt{\frac{(2)(0.0182)}{0.23}}$

$v=0.398\ m/s$

A sound wave has a speed of 345 m/s and a wavelength of 4.15 meters. What is the frequency of this wave?

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

83 hertz

OPTION A

Explanation:

$wavelength = \frac{speed}{frequency}$

Given

wavelength=4.15m

speed=345 m/s

$frequency = \frac{speed}{wavelength} = \frac{345}{4.15}$

$frequency = 83 \: hertz$
