- Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.63 m) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the third harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the fifth harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 369 Hz. What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings? 464.94 wave propagation speed: m/s Incorrectarrow_forwardA transverse wave is traveling on a string. The displacement y of a particle from its equilibrium position is given by y = (0.021 m) sin (25t - 2.0x). Note that the phase angle 25t - 2.0x is in radians, t is in seconds, and x is in meters.

The wire has a length of 1.74 m and a linear density of 3.02 × 10-4 kg/m. Using electronic equipment, the astronaut measures the time for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the wire and obtains a value of 0.0653 s. The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the ball. Determine the acceleration due to gravity.arrow_forward

F= iarrow_forwardA person putting up power lines is told to stretch the wire between poles to a tension of about 800N. The person doesn't have a tension scale so they decide to measure the speed of a pulse created on the wire when they hit it with a wrench. The pulse travels from one pole 60m to another pole and back again in 2.6 s. The 60m long wire has a mass of 15kg. Should the wire be tightened or loosened? Explain how you decided.

Number i Unitsarrow_forwardA string is connected to an oscillator and then laid horizontally, with the other end draped over a pulley and a mass of 200g is hung from that end. The string is found to have a mass of 15g and a length of 1.2m. The oscillator is turned on and the frequency is tuned until a standing wave is seen. You see 6 full wavelengths along the 1.2m length of the string. The oscillator frequency is set to 63Hz. What is the speed of the wave on the string based on your measurements?
