Chapter 2: Q19E (page 498)

A thin, 75.0cm wire has a mass of 16.5g. One end is tied to a nail, and the other end is attached to a screw that can be adjusted to vary the tension in the wire. (a) To what tension (in newtons) must you adjust the screw so that a transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second? (b) How fast would this wave travel?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Hence, the tension in the screw must be adjusted to 9.53N so that transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second. This wave will travel at a speed of 20.8m/s.

Step by step solution

01

Determination of the formula of Mechanical Waves

To find the tension in wire we can use the dynamic relationship,

v=T渭--(1)

To find the wave speed from the kinematic relationship we can use,

v=f位

02

Calculation of the tension in the screw

The rope's linear mass density is

渭=mropeL=16.5g75.0cm=0.22g/cm

From equation (1):

v=T渭


But we know that

v=f位

Therefore,


f位=T渭

Solve for T and substituting the known values off and lambda:

T=渭f2位2=0.22g/cm625vib/s23.33cm2=9.53脳105g.cm/s2

Since g-cm/s虏=10, then the tension (in newtons) is:

T=9.53N.

03

Calculation of speed of the wave

The wave speed is simply given by

v=f位=625vib/s(3.33脳1m100cm)=20.8m/s

Therefore, v = 20.8 m/s.

Hence, the tension in the screw must be adjusted to 9.53N so that transverse wave of wavelength 3.33 cm makes 625 vibrations per second. This wave will travel at a speed of 20.8m/s.

With what tension must a rope with length 2.50 m and mass 0.120 kg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency 40.0 Hz to have a wavelength of 0.750 m?

The fundamental frequency of a pipe that is open at both ends is 524 Hz. (a) How long is this pipe? If one end is now closed, find (b) the wavelength and (c) the frequency of the new fundamental.

BIO The Human Voice. The human vocal tract is a pipe that extends about 17 cm from the lips to the vocal folds (also called 鈥渧ocal cords鈥�) near the middle of your throat. The vocal folds behave rather like the reed of a clarinet, and the vocal tract acts like a stopped pipe. Estimate the first three standing-wave frequencies of the vocal tract. Use v = 344 m/s. (The answers are only an estimate, since the position of lips and tongue affects the motion of air in the vocal tract.)

The speed of ocean waves depends on the depth of the water; the deeper the water, the faster the wave travels. Use this to explain why ocean waves crest and 鈥渂reak鈥� as they near the shore.

A heavy rope 6.00 m long and weighing 29.4 N is attached at one end to a ceiling and hangs vertically. A 0.500-kg mass is suspended from the lower end of the rope. What is the speed of transverse waves on the rope at the (a) bottom of the rope, (b) middle of the rope, and (c) top of the rope? (d) Is the tension in the middle of the rope the average of the tensions at the top and bottom of the rope? Is the wave speed at the middle of the rope the average of the wave speeds at the top and bottom? Explain.
