A uniform 165-Nbar is supported horizontally by two identical wires A and B (Fig. P16.62). A small 185-N cube of lead is placed three fourths of the way from A to B. The wires are each 75.0 cm long and have a mass of 5.50 g. If both of them are simultaneously plucked at the centre, what is the frequency of the beats that they will produce when vibrating in their fundamental?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The beat frequency produces by the two wires is 27.46 Hz.

Step by step solution

01

Concept on net torque and frequency of wire

x2Wb+3x4WC-xFb=0where, x is the length of the bar. Wb is the weight of the bar. is the weight of the cube. The frequency of wire is were f=12LFmLis the fundamental frequency of the wire, L is the length of the wire, F is the tension in the wire , m is the mass of the wire

02

STEP 2 Calculate the tension and frequency on the wire B

The weight of the bar is 165 N, the bar is supported by two identical wire at its both the end, a small 185 N cube of lead is placed three-fourth of the way from A to B, the length of the each wire is 75.0 cm and the mass of the each wire is 5.50g.

At equilibrium, the net torque about the point A is zero. Substitute the values in equationx2Wb+3x4WC-xFb=0 to findFb

x2165N+3x4185N-xFb=0FB-221.25N

Therefore,the tension on the wire B is 221.25N

Substitute the values in equationfB=12LFBmL to findfb

fB=1275.0×1100221.25m75.0×1100=115.79Hz

Thus, the fundamental frequency of the wire B is 115.79 Hz.

03

Calculate the frequency on the wire of the wire A

At equilibrium, the net force along the y axis is zero. FA+FB-wb-wc=0

Substitute 221.25 N for 165 N for wband 185 N for wcin the above equation to find FA

FA+221.25-165-185=0FA=128.75N

The fundamental frequency of the wire A is. fA=12LFAmLSubstitute 128.75 N for fA, 75.0 cm for L and 5.50g for m in the above equation to findfA

fA=1275.0×1100128.75m75.0×1100=88.33Hz

04

Calculate the beat frequency.

The beat frequency produces by the two wires isfbeat=fB-fA Substitute115.79 Hz forfBand 88.33 Hz forfA in the above equation to findfbeat

fbeat=115.79Hz-88.33Hz=27.89Hz

Therefore, the beat frequency produces by the two wires is 27.46 Hz.

Two identical loudspeakers are located at points A and B, 2.00 m apart. The loudspeakers are driven by the same amplifier and produce sound waves with a frequency of 784 Hz. Take the speed of sound in air to be 344 m/s. A small microphone is moved out from point Balong a line perpendicular to the line connecting Aand B(line BC in Fig. P16.65). (a) At what distances from Bwill there be destructiveinterference? (b) At what distances from Bwill there be constructiveinterference? (c) If the frequency is made low enough, there will be no positions along the line BCat which destructive interference occurs. How low must the frequency be for this to be the case?

Two train whistles, A and B, each have a frequency of 393Hz. A is stationary and B is moving toward the right (away from A) at a speed of 35m/s. A listener is between the two whistles and is moving toward the right with a speed of 15m/s. No wind is blowing. (a) What is the frequency from A as heard by the listener? (b) What is the frequency from B as heard by the listener? (c) What is the beat frequency detected by the listener?

A bat flies toward a wall, emitting a steady sound of frequency 1.70 kHz. This bat hears its own sound plus the sound reflected by the wall. How fast should the bat fly in order to hear a beat frequency of 8.00 Hz?

A long tube contains air at a pressure of 1.00 atm and a temperature of 77.0°C. The tube is open at one end and closed at the other by a movable piston. A tuning fork that vibrates with a frequency of 500 Hz is placed near the open end. Resonance is produced when the piston is at distances 18.0 cm, 55.5 cm, and 93.0 cm from the open end. (a) From these values, what is the speed of sound in air at 77.0°C? (b) From the result of part (a), what is the value of g? (c) These results show that a displacement antinode is slightly outside the open end of the tube. How far outside is it?

When sound travels from air into water, does the frequency of the wave change? The speed? The wavelength? Explain your reasoning.
