The trunk of a elephant may extend up to 2.2 m. It acts much like an organ pipe only open at one end when the elephant blows air

through it. 1) Calculate the fundamental frequency of the sound the elephant can create with its trunk.2) If the elephant blows even harder, the next harmonic may be sounded. What is the frequency of the first overtone?

Answer:

1) f = 38.63 Hz , 2)   f = 115.9 Hz

Explanation:

The elephant's trunk can be approximated by a tube with a closed end, in pipes the closed ends correspond to nodes and the open ends to antinodes or bellies.

The expression for the wavelengths of this system is

             4L = n λ

              n = 1, 3, 5, 7 ...

               

also let's use the relationship between frequency and wavelength and wave speed

            v = λ f

             f = v / λ

             f = v n / 4L

             f = v / 4L n

1) the fundamental frequency occurs for n = 1

            f = 340/4 2.2 1

            f = 38.63 Hz

2) The first harmonic

           n = 3

            f = 340/4 2.2  3

           f = 115.9 Hz

The 6 strings on a guitar all have about the same length and are stretched with about the same tension.The highest string vibrat
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

B. d(low)=4d(high)

Explanation:

Frequency of a string can be written as;

f = v/2L

Where;

v = sound velocity

L = string length

Frequency can be further expanded to;

f = v/2L = (1/2L)√(T/u) ......1

Where;

m= mass,

u = linear density of string,

T = tension

p = density of string material

A = cross sectional area of string

d = string diameter

u = m/L .......2

m = pAL = p(πd^2)L/4 (since Area = (πd^2)/4)

f = (1/2L)√(T/u) = (1/2L)√(T/(m/L))

f = (1/2L)√(T/((p(πd^2)L/4)/L))

f = (1/2L)√(4T/pπd^2)

f = (1/L)(1/d)√(4T/pπ)

Since the length of the strings are the same, the frequency is inversely proportional to the string diameter.

f ~ 1/d

So, if

4f(low) = f(high)

Then,

d(low) = 4d(high)

According to the second law of thermodynamics, it is impossible for ____________. According to the second law of thermodynamics,
Tomtit [17]

Answer:

It's impossible for an ideal heat engine to have non-zero power.

Explanation:

Option A is incomplete and so it's possible.

Option B is possible

Option D is related to the first lae and has nothing to do with the second law.

Hence, the correct option is C.

The ideal engine follows a reversible cycle albeit an infinitely slow one. If the work is being done at this infinitely slow rate, the power of such an engine is zero.

We can also stat the second law of thermodynamics in this manner;

It is impossible to construct a cyclical heat engine whose sole effect is the continuous transfer of heat energy from a colder object to a hotter one.

This statement is known as second form or Clausius statement of the second law.

Thus, it is possible to construct a machine in which a heat flow from a colder to a hotter object is accompanied by another process, such as work input.
