Question
5. On a day when the speed of sound in air is 345 m/s, the fundamental frequency of an open-ended organ pipe is 690 Hz. If the second harmonic of this pipe has the same wavelength as the second overtone (third harmonic) of a closed-end pipe, what is the length of each pipe?

Transcribed Image Text:4. A visitor to a lighthouse (on earth) wishes to determine the height of the tower. She
ties a spool of thread to a small rock to make a simple pendulum, which she hangs down
the center of a spiral staircase of the tower. The period of oscillation was 9.40 s. What is
the height of the tower?

- 8 A 1.0 m1.0 m long pipe held vertically is inserted into a tank of water. This creates an open-closed pipe whose length can be easily varied. When a tuning fork is held at the open end and the pipe is slowly pulled out of the water, resonances are observed when the top of the pipe is 16 cm and 48 cm above the top surface of the water, and no resonances are observed in between. What is the frequency of the tuning fork?
