Chapter 17, Problem 16P

Review. A sphere of mass M is supported by a string that passes over a pulley at the end of a horizontal rod of length L (Fig. P17.15). The string makes an angle θ with the rod. The fundamental frequency of standing waves in the portion of the string above the rod is f. Find the mass of the portion of the string above the rod.

A nylon guitar string is fixed between two lab posts 2.00 m apart. The string has a linear mass density of μ = 7.20 g/m and is placed under a tension of 160.00 N. The string is placed next to a tube, open at both ends, of length L. The string is plucked and the tube resonates at the n = 3 mode. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the length of the tube?
A phone cord is 4.89 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.212 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cord. That pulse makes four round trips (down and back) along the cord in 0.666 s. What is the tension in the cord? Hint: Four round trips is a total distance of eight lengths of the cord.
Astronauts Visiting planet X are trying to measure the gravitational acceleration there. They use a 2.34 m long string of mass 4.8 g, attach it to a support, and stretch it over a pulley L = 2.03 m away. A mass M 1.60 kg is tied to the free end. When they excite standing waves on the string, the astronauts find some at 64 Hz and 80 Hz, but not in between. What is the gravitational acceleration on the planet, gx?
