A well with vertical sides and water at the bottom resonates at 7.00Hzand at no lower frequency. (The air-filled portion of the well acts as a tube with one closed end and one open end.) The air in the well has a density of 1.10kg/m3and a bulk modulus of1.33×105Pa. How far down in the well is the water surface?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The water surface is 12.4m down in the well.

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. The density of the air, ÒÏ=1.10kg/m3
  2. Resonant frequencyfr=7.00Hz
  3. Bulk modulusβ=1.33×105Pa.
02

Understanding the concept of sound waves

We can find the sound velocity from bulk modulus and air density using the corresponding relation. By inserting it in the formula for the resonant frequency of pipe closed at one end for the lowest frequency, we can get how far down in the well the water surface is.

Formula:

The velocity of the sound wave in air,v=βÒÏ â€¦(1)

The resonant frequency of a wave, fr=nv4L …(2)

03

Calculation of the water surface level

Sound velocity is given by the formula from equation (1) and the given values as:

v=1.33×105Pa1.10s=347.71m/s

The length of the wall using equation (2) is given as:

L=14×frv

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

L=14×frv=14×7Hz×347.71m/s=12.418m≅12.4m.

Hence, the level of the water in the well is 12.4m down.

200 k³¾On July 10, 1996, a granite block broke away from a wall in Yosemite Valley and, as it began to slide down the wall, was launched into projectile motion. Seismic waves produced by its impact with the ground triggered seismographs as far away as200 k³¾. Later measurements indicated that the block had a mass between7.3×107 k²µand1.7×108 k²µand that it landedvertically below the launch point and30″¾horizontally from it.

(The launch angle is not known.)

(a) Estimate the block’s kinetic energy just before it landed.

Consider two types of seismic waves that spread from the impact point—a hemispherical body wave traveled through the ground in an expanding hemisphere and a cylindrical surface wave traveled along the ground in an expanding shallow vertical cylinder (Fig. 17-49). Assume that the impact lasted, the vertical cylinder had a depth d of5.0″¾, and each wave type received 20% of the energy the block had just before impact. Neglecting any mechanical energy loss the waves experienced as they traveled, determine the intensities of (b) the body wave and

(c) the surface wave when they reach the seismograph200 k³¾away.

(d) On the basis of these results, Which wave is more easily detected on a distant seismograph?
