A rope, under a tension of 200 Nand fixed at both ends, oscillates in a second-harmonic standing wave pattern. The displacement of the rope is given by y=(0.10m)(sinÏ€³æ/2)sin12Ï€³Ù , where x = 0at one end of the rope, x is in meters, andis in seconds. What are (a) the length of the rope, (b) the speed of the waves on the rope, and (d) the mass of the rope? (d) If the rope oscillates in a third-harmonic standing wave pattern, what will be the period of oscillation?

Short Answer

b) Speed of the waves on the rope is 24 m/s .

c) The mass of the rope is 1.4 kg .

d) Period of oscillation if the rope oscillates in a third harmonic standing wave pattern is 0.11 s .

Step by step solution

01

Given data

Tension in the rope, T = 200 N

Displacement of the rope,y=0.10msinÏ€³æ2sin12Ï€³Ù.

Rope is oscillating in second-harmonic.

02

Understanding the concept of resonant frequency 

We can get the value of the wavenumber and angular velocity by comparing the given equation of wave with the general wave equation. From it, we can find the wavelength and then the length of the rope using the corresponding formulae for standing waves. From the angular velocity, we can find the frequency and then the speed and period from it using the corresponding relations.

Formulae:

The wavelength of an oscillation,λ=2πk.............1

The wavelength of a standing wave,λ=2Ln.............2

The angular frequency of the wave, Ó¬=2Ï€´Ú.............3

The velocity of the wave, v=λf................4 The velocity of the wave, v=Tμ.................5

The time period of the standing wave, t=2Lnv.................6

03

Step 3(a): Calculation of length of rope

Displacement of the rope is,y=0.10msinÏ€³æ2sin12Ï€³Ùcomparing it with the general equation of wave we get the wavenumber as:

k=Ï€2m-1

Using equation (1), we get the wavelength as given:

λ=2ππ2=4

Wavelength of the standing wave using equation (2) is given as:

L=nλ2=242=4.0m

Therefore, the length of the rope is 4.0 m .

04

Step 4(b): Calculation of the speed of the wave

Comparing the given wave equation with the general equation of wave we get the angular frequency as given:

Ó¬=12Ï€²õ-1

Using equation (3), we get the frequency of the wave as given;

f=12Ï€2Ï€=6Hz

Again, the speed of the waves using equation (4) can be written as:

v=64=24m/s

Therefore, speed of the waves on the rope is 24 m/s .

05

Step 5(c): Calculation of mass of the rope

Using equation (5), we get the mass of the rope as:

m=τLv2∵μ=mL=2004242=1.388~1.4kg

Therefore, mass of the rope is 1.4 kg .

06

Step 6(d): Calculation of period of oscillation

For the third harmonic standing pattern , n = 3

Using equation (vi) and the given values, we get the period of oscillation is given as;

T=22324=0.11s

Therefore, the period of oscillation if the rope oscillates in a third harmonic standing wave pattern is 0.11 s.
