Scenario: A solid guitar string (a very long cylinder with a very small cross section) is under a tension of 66 N. It is made from a material of volume density 1200 kg/m³. The radius of the string is 0.35 millimeters. Question: What is the wave speed for this string? Enter your answer in m/s. Commentary: If you haven't already straighted this out in your mind: you will need to play around and work out the connection between volume mass density and linear mass density: The key is that you can calculate the mass of the string using either. Linear mass density is not fundamental, it comes about from a combination of the material volume density and the thickness of the string.

Part A Two steel guitar strings A and B have the same length and are under the same tension. String A has a diameter of 0.65 mm and string B has a diameter 1.17 mm. Treat the stretched-out strings as right cylinders with length L and radius r having volume n L. You may assume that both strings are made of the same material, so they have the same density. The ratio of the wave speeds, VA/VB, in the two strings is (enter your answer with two significant figures) possibly useful: density = mass/volume v = Af string fixed at both ends: An = 2L/n ; n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... %3D V = squareroot[F/µ) H = mass per unit length 1.8 Sumit Previous Answers Correct Part B The ratio of the eleventh harmonic frequency of string A to the eleventh harmonic frequency of string B, (111)A/(f11)B, is (enter your answer with two significant figures) 1.8 Bubm Previous Answers Correct
The ability to hear a "pin drop" is the sign of sensitive hearing. Suppose a 0.53 g pin is dropped from a height of 31 cm, and that the pin emits sound for 1.4 s when it lands. Part A Assuming all of the mechanical energy of the pin is converted to sound energy, and that the sound radiates uniformly in all directions, find the maximum distance from which a person can hear the pin drop. (This is the ideal maximum distance, but atmospheric absorption and other factors will make the actual maximum distance considerably smaller.) Express your answer using two significant figures.

One end of a 22 g string is tied to the ball and the other end to a pole. The string is 5.0 m long. The oscillation of the ball produces a wave of wavelength 3.5 m travels in the +x direction along the sting. What is the tension of the string? c) At x = 0.80 m and t = 0, D(0.8,0) is a crest. Write a complete expression (in terms of sine function) for the displacement of the string as a function of position x and t in SI units

each gridline is 1 cm square and wave traveling speed is1 cm/s.The end of the string at the blue line is free to move vertically. Find the velocity (speed and direction) of the particle of string located at the center of the leading segment of the wave at the moment depicted in the figure. As accurately as possible, sketch the wave 4 seconds after the moment captured in the figure.
Part A The ability to hear a "pin drop" is the sign of sensitive hearing. Suppose a 0.48 g pin is dropped from a height of 29 cm, and that the pin emits sound for 1.3 s when it lands. Assuming all of the mechanical energy of the pin is converted to sound energy, and that the sound radiates uniformly in all directions, find the maximum distance from which a person can hear the pin drop.
