(a)
Whether the air column is open or closed on each end.
Answer to Problem 16TP
The air column is closed at one end.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The data length of an air column and a resonant frequency present when the column is struck is given in the table below:
Length (m) | Resonant Frequency (Hz) |
Table (1)
Formula used:
The frequency of a tube closed at one end is given as,
The frequency of a tube open at both ends is given as,
Calculation:
The frequency of a tube closed at one end is given as,
Let
On simplifying,
Similarly, the frequency of a tube open at both ends is given as,
Let
On simplifying,
To determine whether the tube is closed at one end or open at both ends, find the ratio of product of frequency by length to the speed of sound.
This result satisfies the equation of frequency of a tube closed at one end.
Check the ratio of product of frequency by length to the speed of sound on other values of the experiment.
For the length of

For the length of
Conclusion:
Since the ratio of product of frequency by length to the speed of sound for all the lengths corresponds to the ratio for an open tube, the air column is closed at one end.

- The tensile stress in a thick copper bar is 99.5% of its elastic breaking point of 13.0 1010 N/m2. If 500-Hz sound wave is transmitted through the material, (a) what displacement amplitude will cause the bar to break? (b) What is the maximum speed of the elements of copper at this moment? (c) What is the sound intensity in the bar?arrow_forwardA stretched string fixed at each end has a mass of 40.0 g and a length of 8.00 m. The tension in the string is 49.0 N. (a) Determine the positions of the nodes and antinodes for the third harmonic.

- Review. Consider the apparatus shown in Figure P18.87a, where the hanging object has mass M and the string is vibrating in its second harmonic. The vibrating blade at the left maintains a constant frequency. The wind begins to blow to the right, applying a con- slant horizontal force F on the hanging object. What is the magnitude of the force the wind must apply to the hanging object so that the string vibrates in its first harmonic as shown in Figure 18.87b?arrow_forwardReview. A steel guitar string with a diameter of 1.00 mm is stretched between supports 80.0 cm apart. The temperature is 0.0C. (a) Find the mass per unit length of this siring. (Use the value 7.86 103 kg/m4 for the density.) (b) The fundamental frequency of transverse oscillations of the string is 200 Hz. What is the tension in the string? Next, the temperature is raised to 30.0C. Find the resulting values of (c) the tension and (d) the fundamental frequency.
