Chapter 11: 11-36P (page 292)
A sound wave in air has a frequency of 282 Hz and travels with a speed of 343 m/s. How far apart are the wave crests (compressions)?
Short Answer
The wave crests (compressions) are \(1.22\;\;{\rm{m}}\)apart.

A violin string vibrates at 294 Hz when unfingered. At what frequency will it vibrate if it is fingered one-third of the way down from the end? (That is, only two-thirds of the string vibrates as a standing wave.)
One hectare is defined as \({\bf{1 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{4}}}\;{{\bf{m}}^{\bf{2}}}\). One acre is \({\bf{4}}{\bf{.356 \times 1}}{{\bf{0}}^{\bf{4}}}\;{\bf{f}}{{\bf{t}}^{\bf{2}}}\). How many acres are there in one hectare?
A simple pendulum oscillates with frequency \(f\). What is its frequency if the entire pendulum accelerates at 0.35 g (a) upward, and (b) downward?
A standard baseball has a circumference of approximately 23 cm. If a baseball had the same mass per unit volume (see Tables in section 1–5) as a neutron or a proton, about what would its mass be?
(III) A 1.60-kg object oscillates at the end of a vertically hanging light spring once every 0.45 s. (a) Write down the equation giving its position y (+upward) as a function of time t. Assume the object started by being compressed 16 cm from the equilibrium position (where y = 0), and released. (b) How long will it take to get to the equilibrium position for the first time? (c) What will be its maximum speed? (d) What will be the object’s maximum acceleration, and where will it first be attained?
