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.

Answer:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion

Explanation:

The statement is incorrect because, a force acting on an object does not necessarily have to produce motion. It could be in static equilibrium where the net force is zero and produces not motion. The body could also be in dynamic equilibrium when  no net force acts on it moving at a constant velocity. But here we are concerned with static equilibrium since the body does not move at all.

People have the misconception that when a force acts on an object it always produces motion and, we have seen from the above tat its not always true.

What is the frequency in hertz of a signal that repeats 80,000 times within one minute? What is its period?
Harman [31]

1333.3 is the frequency in the hertz of a signal that repeats 80,000 times within one minute. 0.00075 is its period.

The frequency of a repeated event is its number of instances per unit of time. In some cases, it is also referred to as temporal frequency or ordinary frequency to underline differences with spatial and angular frequencies, respectively.

The length of time it takes for a particle in a medium to complete one full vibrational cycle is the period of a wave. Being a time, a period is measured in time units like seconds, hours, days, or years. The Earth's orbit around the Sun has a duration of around 365 days, and one cycle of the Earth lasts 365 days.

frequency = cycle /second

frequency = 80000 / 60

frequency = 1333.3 hertz

Period = 1 / frequency

Period = 1 / 1,333.3

Period = 0.00075
