In a laboratory experiment, one end of a horizontal string is tied

to a support while the other end passes over a frictionless pulley

and is tied to a 1.5 kg sphere. Students determine the frequencies

of standing waves on the horizontal segment of the string, then

they raise a beaker of water until the hanging 1.5 kg sphere is

completely submerged. The frequency of the fifth harmonic with

the sphere submerged exactly matches the frequency of the third

harmonic before the sphere was submerged. What is the diameter

of the sphere?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The diameter of the sphere is 3.93 cm

Step by step solution

01

The concept of sphere 

the sphere is a geometrical shape with a set of three-dimensional points with space lying the same distance

02

Involvement of tension and force

Here, tension and force are equal to the weight that the ball carries. for the second case, weight is subtracted from the buoyant force. the buoyant force has a sphere diameter which is D and the liquid with density is p.

Thus, FB=pgV=pg43Ï€R3=pg43Ï€(D2)3=16Ï€±è²µ¶Ù3

The frequency and the string are stretched by tension T

The linear density μand the anti mode number is m which is provided as

f=mv2L=mT2Lμ

after the substitution, the denoted mass or m will be

3Mg2Lμ=5Mg-16Ï€±è²µ¶Ù32Lμ

03

The simplification of the equation  

The simplification of the equation is

3gM=5g(M-16Ï€±è²µ¶Ù3)⇒3M=5M16Ï€±è²µ¶Ù3

The square on both sides are

9M=25(M-16Ï€±è¶Ù3)⇒16Ï€±è¶Ù3=1625M

The diameter can be expressed as,

role="math" localid="1649066728962" D=16·6M625Ï€±è3M⇒D=16·6M6M25Ï€±è3

The step we have is

D=16·6·1.525π·10003=3.93cm

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?

A heavy piece of hanging sculpture is suspended by a 90-cmlong, 5.0 g steel wire. When the wind blows hard, the wire hums at its fundamental frequency of 80 Hz. What is the mass of the sculpture?

If you take snapshots of a standing wave on a string, there are certain instants when the string is totally flat. What has happened to the energy of the wave at those instants?

In music, two notes are said to be an octave apart when one note is exactly twice the frequency of the other. Suppose you have a guitar string playing frequency f0. To increase the frequency by an octave, to 2f0, by what factor would you have to (a) increase the tension or (b) decrease the length?
