A tube 1.20mlong is closed at one end. A stretched wire is placed near the open end. The wire is 0.330mlong and has a mass of 9.60g. It is fixed at both ends and oscillates in its fundamental mode. By resonance, it sets the air column in the tube into oscillation at that column’s fundamental frequency. Find (a) that frequency and (b) the tension in the wire.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The fundamental frequency is 71.5Hz
  2. Tension in the wire is 64.8N

Step by step solution

01

The given data

  1. Length of the tube is, L = 1.20m.
  2. Length of the wire is, l = 0.33m.
  3. Mass of the wire is, m = 9.60g.

Understanding the concept of frequency

The frequency of the resonance with n = 1is called the fundamental frequency. It is given that the tube is closed at one end, so, we can use the formula for resonant frequency.

Formula:

The resonant frequency of the body in SHM,

f=nv4L …(1)

The velocity of the resonant frequency in SHM,

v=(Tμ)1/2 …(2)

Where, v is the velocity of sound, T is the tension in the wire, and d is the linear density

03

a) Calculation of the fundamental frequency

By resonance, the wire sets the air column in the tube at fundamental frequency. So, the fundamental frequency can be found using equation (1) for n = 1 as: where v = 343m/s is the velocity of sound.

f=343m/s4×1.20m=343m/s4.8m=71.458Hz□71.5Hz

Because of the resonance, the tube andthe wire have the same fundamental frequency 71.5Hz.

Hence, the value of the fundamental frequency is 71.5Hz

04

b) Calculation of the tension

Combining equations (1) and (2), we get the tension of the string as:

2lf=Tμ1/24l2f2=Tμ∵μ=ml

T=4l2f2×μT=4l2f2×mlT=4mlf2

Substitute all the value in the above equation.

T=4×9.60×10-3kg×0.33m×71.5Hz2T=64.8N

Hence, the value of the tension of the string is, 64.8N.

Question: Hot chocolate effectTap a metal spoon inside a mug of water and note the frequency fiyou hear. Then add a spoonful of powder (say, chocolate mix or instant coffee) and tap again as you stir the powder. The frequency you hear has a lower value fsbecause the tiny air bubbles released by the powder change the water’s bulk modulus. As the bubbles reach the water surface and disappear, the frequency gradually shifts back to its initial value. During the effect, the bubbles don’t appreciably change the water’s density or volume of dV/dp- that is , the differential change in volume due to the differential change in the pressure caused by the sound wave in the water . Iffs/fi=0.333, what is the ratiodVdps/dVdpi?

Question: Earthquake generates sound waves inside Earth. Unlike a gas. Earth can experience both transverse (S) and longitudinal (P) sound waves. Typically, the speed of S waves is about 4.5 m/s, and that of P waves8 m/s.A seismograph records P and S waves from earthquake. The first P waves arrive 3.00 mbefore the first S waves. If the waves travel in a straight line, how far away does the earthquake occur?

The speed of sound in a certain metal is vm. One end of a long pipe of that metal of length Lis struck a hard blow. A listener at the other end hears two sounds, one from the wave that travels along the pipe’s metal wall and the other from the wave that travels through the air inside the pipe.

(a) Ifrole="math" localid="1661511418960" V is the speed of sound in air, what is the time intervalΔ³Ù between the arrivals of the two sounds at the listener’s ear?

The sixth harmonic is set up in a pipe. (a) How many open ends does the pipe have (it has at least one)? (b) Is there a node, antinode, or some intermediate state at the midpoint?

Question: A friend rides, in turn, the rims of three fast merry-go-roundswhile holding a sound source that emits isotropically at a certain frequency. You stand far from each merry-go-round. The frequency you hear for each of your friend’s three rides varies as the merry-go-round rotates. The variations in frequency for the three rides aregiven by the three curves in Fig. 17-29. Rank the curves according to:

(a) the linear speed vof the sound source, (b) the angular speedsvofthe merry-go-rounds, and (c) the radii rof the merry-go-rounds, greatest first
