A 300 cm rope under a tension of 120 N is set into oscillation. The mass density of the rope is 120 g/cm. What is the frequency
1 answer:
Answer:
Explanation:
f =
T = 120 N
L = 3.00 m
(m/L) = 120 g/cm(100 cm/m / 1000 g/kg) = 12 kg/m
(wow that's massive for a "rope")
f = )
f = /6 = 0.527 Hz
This is a completely silly exercise unless this "rope" is in space somewhere as the weight of the rope (353 N on earth) far exceeds the tension applied.
A much more reasonable linear density would be 120 g/m resulting in a frequency of √1000/6 = 5.27 Hz on a rope that weighs only 3.5 N

The frequency of the wave has not changed.
In fact, the frequency of a wave is given by:
where v is the wave's speed and is the wavelength.
Applying the formula:
- In air, the frequency of the wave is:
- underwater, the frequency of the wave is:
So, the frequency has not changed.
