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

Calculate the ratio of the drag force on a jet flying at 950 km/h at an altitude of 10 km to the drag force on a prop-driven tra
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

\frac{F_1}{F_2}=3.55

Explanation:

F = Force

C = Drag coefficient equal for both aircrafts

ρ = Density of air

A = Surface area equal for both aircrafts

v = Velocity

v_2=\frac{2}{5}v_1

F_1=\frac{1}{2}\rho_1 CAv_1^2

F_2=\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CAv_2^2\\\Rightarrow F_2=\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CA\left(\frac{2}{5}v_1\right)^2

Dividing the above two equations we get

\frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\frac{1}{2}\rho_1 CAv_1^2}{\frac{1}{2}\rho_2 CA\left(\frac{2}{5}v_1\right)^2}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{\rho_1}{\rho_2\frac{4}{25}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=\frac{0.38}{0.67\frac{4}{25}}\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{F_2}=3.55

The ratio of the drag forces is \mathbf{\frac{F_1}{F_2}}=\mathbf{3.55}
