A guitar player tunes the fundamental frequency of a guitar string to 560 Hz. (a) What will be the fundamental frequency if she

then increases the tension in the string by 15%? (b) What will it be if, instead, she decreases the length along which the string oscillates by sliding her finger from the tuning key one-third of the way down the string toward the bridge at the lower end?

Answer:

(a) if she increases the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased to 740.6 Hz

(b) If she decrease the length of the the string by one-third the fundamental frequency will be increased to 840 Hz

Explanation:

(a) The fundamental, f₁, frequency is given as follows;

f_1 = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L}

Where;

T = The tension in the string

μ = The linear density of the string

L = The length of the string

f₁ = The fundamental frequency = 560 Hz

If the tension in the string is increased by 15%, we will have;

f_{(1  \, new)} = \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T\times 1.15}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L} = 1.3225 \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L}  = 1.3225 \times f_1

f_{(1  \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 = (1 + 0.3225) \times f_1

f_{(1  \, new)} = 1.3225 \times f_1 =\dfrac{132.25}{100} \times 560 \ Hz  = 740.6 \  Hz

Therefore, if the tension in the string is increased by 15%, the fundamental frequency will be increased by a fraction of 0.3225 or 32.25% to 740.6 Hz

(b) When the string length is decreased by one-third, we have;

The new length of the string, L_{new} = 2/3·L

The value of the fundamental frequency will then be given as follows;

f_{(1  \, new)} =  \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \times \dfrac{2 \times L}{3} }  =\dfrac{3}{2} \times \dfrac{\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}  }{2 \cdot L} = \dfrac{3}{2} \times 560 \ Hz =  840 \ Hz

When the string length is reduced by one-third, the fundamental frequency increases to one-half or 50% to 840 Hz.

Nutka1998 [239]
At sea level, the size amid the 2 alkanes lets for pentane to simmer at a lower temperature than hexane. Phenol has a higher boiling point due to hydrogen bonding High altitude would have the same order while low pressure only cuts the temperature at which a solvent boils. Boiling has to do with molecular size, the occurrence/nonappearance of hydrogen bonds, and other steric issues.
So the answer would be pentane high altitude, hexane high altitude, hexane sea level, hexanol sea level. In order of boil first to boil last. This is clarified because altitude has a better effect on vapor pressure (and hence boiling points) than inter-molecular forces.

You pull a block of mass m across across a frictionless table with a constant force. you also pull with an equal constant force
KiRa [710]
For any mass m:

a = F/m
v = √2*F/m*s = √2F/sm = k/√m
Momentum = mv = k√m
Energy = 1/ mv² = 1/2 m.k²/m = 1/2k²

SO
Both will have same energy
The larger mass will have greater momentum
