As the captain of the scientific team sent to Planet Physics, one

of your tasks is to measure g. You have a long, thin wire labeled

1.00 g/m and a 1.25 kg weight. You have your accurate space cadet

chronometer but, unfortunately, you seem to have forgotten a

meter stick. Undeterred, you first find the midpoint of the wire by

folding it in half. You then attach one end of the wire to the wall

of your laboratory, stretch it horizontally to pass over a pulley at

the midpoint of the wire, then tie the 1.25 kg weight to the end

hanging over the pulley. By vibrating the wire, and measuring

time with your chronometer, you find that the wire鈥檚 second harmonic

frequency is 100 Hz. Next, with the 1.25 kg weight still

tied to one end of the wire, you attach the other end to the ceiling

to make a pendulum. You find that the pendulum requires 314 s to

complete 100 oscillations. Pulling out your trusty calculator, you

get to work. What value of g will you report back to headquarters?

A string vibrates at its third-harmonic frequency. The amplitude at a point 30 cm from one end is half the maximum amplitude. How long is the string?

A 25-cm-long wire with a linear density of 20 g/m passes across the open end of an 85-cm-long open-closed tube of air. If the wire, which is fixed at both ends, vibrates at its fundamental frequency, the sound wave it generates excites the second vibrational mode of the tube of air. What is the tension in the wire? Assume vsound = 340 m/s.

Deep-sea divers often breathe a mixture of helium and oxygen to avoid getting the 鈥渂ends鈥 from breathing high-pressure nitrogen. The helium has the side effect of making the divers鈥 voices sound odd. Although your vocal tract can be roughly described as an open-closed tube, the way you hold your mouth and position your lips greatly affects the standing-wave frequencies of the vocal tract. This is what allows different vowels to sound different. The 鈥渆e鈥 sound is made by shaping your vocal tract to have standing- wave frequencies at, normally, 270 Hz and 2300 Hz. What will these frequencies be for a helium-oxygen mixture in which the speed of sound at body temperature is 750 m/s? The speed of sound in air at body temperature is 350 m/s.

Two microwave signals of nearly equal wavelengths can generate a beat frequency if both are directed onto the same microwave detector. In an experiment, the beat frequency is 100 MHz. One microwave generator is set to emit microwaves with a wavelength of 1.250 cm. If the second generator emits a longer wavelength, what is that wavelength?

A 1.0-m-tall vertical tube is filled with 20C water. A tuning fork vibrating at 580 Hz is held just over the top of the tube as the water is slowly drained from the bottom. At what water heights, measured from the bottom of the tube, will there be a standing wave in the tube above the water?
