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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The constant damping time of the string is0.543s

Step by step solution

01

Description of vibration and amplitude 

The concept of amplitude is maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a waver about the point of equibrilium.

02

The explanation of the provided information and solution 

Provided information,

β=8.0dbt=1.0s

The solution to the equation is,

The vibration of the piano does not tend to be constant on the oscillating system that is responsible for decreasing the aptitude that changes over time. the gradual approach of the aptitude is 0. The expression shows the decay.

A(t)=A(e-t/2r)

The A is amplitude, t is time and the time constant is T

03

Converting sound to the sound intensity 

Converting level 8dB to the intensity

dB=10log(I(t)I)8dB=10log(I(t)I)(I(t)I)=10-0.8(I(t)I)=10-0.8(I(t)I)=0.158

On the other hand, I∞A2,thenA-I

Therefore,

localid="1649070888565" role="math" A(t)=(e-t/2Τ)I(t)=I(e-t/2Τ)0.0158=(e-t/2Τ)0.398=e-1.0/2ΤΤ=0.543s

Tendons are, essentially, elastic cords stretched between two fixed ends. As such, they can support standing waves. A woman has a 20-cm-long Achilles tendon—connecting the heel to a muscle in the calf—with a cross-section area of 90 mm2.. The density of tendon tissue is 1100 kg/m3. For a reasonable tension of 500 N, what will be the fundamental frequency of her Achilles tendon?

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of

sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune

with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her

flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 346 m/s.

a. How many beats per second will she hear if she now plays the

note A as the tuning fork is sounded?

FIGURE EX17.1 is a snapshot graph at t = 0 s of two waves approaching each other at 1.0 m/s. Draw six snapshot graphs, stacked vertically, showing the string at 1 s intervals from t = 1 s to t = 6 s

Two in-phase speakers 2.0 m apart in a plane are emitting 1800 Hz sound waves into a room where the speed of sound is 340 m/s. Is the point 4.0 m in front of one of the speakers, perpendicular to the plane of the speakers, a point of maximum constructive interference, maximum destructive interference, or something in between?

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?
