Explanation:
We start by using the conservation law of energy:
or
Simplifying the above equation, we get
We can rewrite this as
Note that the expression inside the parenthesis is simply the acceleration due to gravity so we can write
where is the launch velocity.
Answer:
11.07Hz
Explanation:
Check the attachment for diagram of the standing wave in question.
Formula for calculating the fundamental frequency Fo in strings is V/2L where;
V is the velocity of the wave in string
L is the length of the string which is expressed as a function of its wavelength.
The wavelength of the string given is 1.5λ(one loop is equivalent to 0.5 wavelength)
Therefore L = 1.5λ
If L = 3.0m
1.5λ = 3.0m
λ = 3/1.5
λ = 2m
Also;
V = √T/m where;
T is the tension = 0.98N
m is the mass per unit length = 2.0g = 0.002kg
V = √0.98/0.002
V = √490
V = 22.14m/s
Fo = V/2L (for string)
Fo = 22.14/2(3)
Fo = 22.14/6
Fo = 3.69Hz
Harmonics are multiple integrals of the fundamental frequency. The string in question resonates in 2nd harmonics F2 = 3Fo
Frequency of the wave = 3×3.69
Frequency of the wave = 11.07Hz
