A strong string of mass 3.00 g and length 2.20 m is tied to supports at each end and is vibrating in its fundamental mode. The maximum transverse speed of a point at the middle of the string is \(9.00\;{\rm{m/s}}\). The tension in the string is 330 N.

(a) What is the amplitude of the standing wave at its antinode?

(b) What is the magnitude of the maximum transverse acceleration of a point at the antinode?

Short Answer

Expert verified

Thus, (a) the amplitude of the string is \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.281}}\;c{\rm{m}}\).

Step by step solution

01

(a) Given in the question

Length of string \(L = 2.20\;m\).

The tension on the string \(T = 330.0\;{\rm{N}}\).

Mass of the string \(m = 3.00\;{\rm{g}}\).

Maximum transverse speed \({v_{\max }} = 9.00\;{\rm{m/s}}\).

02

Use formula of the maximum transverse velocity and maximum transverse acceleration

The formula of maximum transverse velocity and maximum transverse acceleration are:

\({v_{\max }} = A\omega \)and\({a_{\max }} = A{\omega ^2}\)

The formula of mass is:

\(m = \mu L\)

03

Calculate the amplitude of the standing wave at its antinode

Calculate the mass per unit length as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}\mu = \frac{m}{L}\\ = \frac{{3.00\;g}}{{\left( {2.20\;{\rm{m}}} \right)}}\\ = 1.36 \times {10^{ - 3}}\;{\rm{kg/m}}\end{array}\)

The wavelength of the stationary wave is related to the length of the wire by the relation:

\(\lambda = \frac{{2L}}{n}\)

Here, \(n\) is number of nodes in the wire.

For fundamental node, \(n = 1\) thus,

\(\begin{array}{c}\lambda = 2L\\ = 2 \times 2.20\;{\rm{m}}\\ = 4.4\;{\rm{m}}\end{array}\)

The speed of the wave is,

\(\begin{array}{c}v = \sqrt {\frac{T}{\mu }} \\ = \sqrt {\frac{{330\;N \times 2.2\;m}}{{3 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}\,kg}}} \\ = \sqrt {242000} \\ = 491.9\\ = 492\;{\rm{m/s}}\end{array}\)

By the use of speed of the wave, the angular velocity is calculated as follows:

\(\begin{array}{c}\omega = 2\pi f\\ = 2\pi \frac{v}{\lambda }\\ = \frac{{2\pi \times 492\;{\rm{m/s}}}}{{4.4\;{\rm{m}}}}\\ = 702.5\;{{\rm{s}}^{{\rm{ - 1}}}}\end{array}\)

Thus, the amplitude of the string is:

\(\begin{array}{c}A = \frac{{{v_{\max }}}}{\omega }\\ = \frac{9}{{702.5}}\\ = 0.01281\;{\rm{m}}\\{\rm{ = 1}}{\rm{.281}}\;c{\rm{m}}\end{array}\)

Hence, the amplitude of the string is \({\rm{1}}{\rm{.281}}\;c{\rm{m}}\).

A railroad train is traveling at 25m/s in still air. The frequency of the note emitted by the locomotive whistle is 400Hz. What is the wavelength of the sound waves (a) in front of the locomotive and (b) behind the locomotive? What is the frequency of the sound heard by a stationary listener (c) in front of the locomotive and (d) behind the locomotive?

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 loudspeakers, A and B (see Fig. E16.35), are driven by the same amplifier and emit sinusoidal waves in phase. Speaker B is 2.00 m to the right of speaker A. The frequency of the sound waves produced by the loudspeakers is 206 Hz. Consider a point P between the speakers and along the line connecting them, a distance x to the right of A. Both speakers emit sound waves that travel directly from the speaker to point P. For what values of x will (a) destructive interference occur at P; (b) constructive interference occur at P? (c) Interference effects like those in parts (a) and (b) are almost never a factor in listening to home stereo equipment. Why not?

A 75.0-cm-long wire of mass 5.625 g is tied at both ends and adjusted to a tension of 35.0 N. When it is vibrating in its second overtone, find (a) the frequency and wavelength at which it is vibrating and (b) the frequency and wavelength of the sound waves it is producing.

Two waves travel on the same string. Is it possible for them to have (a) different frequencies; (b) different wavelengths; (c) different speeds; (d) different amplitudes; (e) the same frequency but different wavelengths? Explain your reasoning.
