A 75 g bungee cord has an equilibrium length of 1.20 m. The

cord is stretched to a length of 1.80 m, then vibrated at 20 Hz. This

produces a standing wave with two antinodes. What is the spring

constant of the bungee cord?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The spring constant of the bungee cord is90N/m.

Step by step solution

01

Force and frequency 

Force and frequency are related to isometric force.

02

Solution of force and frequency 

Hooke's law represents force as F when it is present in spring.

The spring is constant which is k and elongated as x is F=kx

Here, the frequency comes from the stretched cord which is f=m2Lv=m2LTμ

It can be stated that L0is the length of the cord in an unstretched scenario. here L is stretched length and M is mass.f=m2Lk(L-L0)M/L=m2(L-L0)MLk

03

Explanation of the constant force

Ther force can be explained as

k=(m2L-L0ML)-2f2⇒k=4f2ML(L-L0)m2

After subtracting the value contact will be

k=4.202·0.075·1.8(1.8-1.2)=90N/m

The stretch cords have created the sound waves but it does not create unstretched sounds.

Thus, linear density could be used for the stretched chords.

Scientists are testing a transparent material whose index of refraction for visible light varies with wavelength as n = 30.0 nm1/2 /l1/2, where l is in nm. If a 295-nm-thick coating is placed on glass 1n = 1.502 for what visible wavelengths will the reflected light have maximum constructive interference?

An open-open organ pipe is 78.0 cm long. An open-closed pipe has a fundamental frequency equal to the third harmonic of the open-open pipe. How long is the open-closed pipe?

An old mining tunnel disappears into a hillside. You would like to know how long the tunnel is, but it’s too dangerous to go inside. Recalling your recent physics class, you decide to try setting up standing-wave resonances inside the tunnel. Using your subsonic amplifier and loudspeaker, you find resonances at 4.5 Hz and 6.3 Hz, and at no frequencies between these. It’s rather chilly inside the tunnel, so you estimate the sound speed to be 335 m/s. Based on your measurements, how far is it to the end of the tunnel?

Two strings are adjusted to vibrate at exactly 200 Hz. Then the tension in one string is increased slightly. Afterward, three beats per second are heard when the strings vibrate at the same time. What is the new frequency of the string that was tightened?

A vibrating standing wave on a string radiates a sound wave with intensity proportional to the square of the standing-wave amplitude. When a piano key is struck and held down, so that the string continues to vibrate, the sound level decreases by 8.0 dB in 1.0 s. What is the string’s damping time constant t?
