A drainage pipe running under a freeway is 30.0 m long. Both ends of the pipe are open, and wind blowing across one end causes t

he air inside to vibrate.
a. If the speed of sound on a particular day is 340 m/s, what will be the fundamental frequency of air vibration in this pipe?
b. What is the frequency of the lowest harmonic that would be audible to the human ear?
c. What will happen to the frequency in the later afternoon as the air begins to cool?

Answer: fundamental frequency = 5.67Hz

Frequency at lowest harmonic relative to the audible range = 22.6Hz ( fourth harmonic)

Sound frequency is independent on temperature.

Explanation:

a) pipe is an open one with length 30.0m

The relationship between the length of air and wavelength is given by the formulae below.

L = λ/2

λ = 2L = 2 * 30 = 60m

v = speed of sound = 340m/s

To get the fundamental frequency, recall that

v = fλ

f = v/λ

f = 340/60

f = 5.67Hz.

b) the audible range is 20Hz - 20,000Hz

The first harmonic produced a sound at frequency 5.67Hz.

At the second harmonic, the length of air is related to the wavelength of sound sound by the formulae

L = λ

λ = 30m

But v = fλ where v= 340m/s and λ = 30m

Hence f = 340/30

f = 11.33Hz

At the third harmonics, the length of air and wavelength is related by the formulae below

L= 3λ/2

30 = 3 *λ/2

60 = 3λ

λ = 20m.

But v = fλ where v = 340m/s and λ= 20m

f = v/ λ = 340/20.

f = 17Hz

At the fourth harmonic, the length of air and wavelength are related by

L = 2λ

λ = L/2

λ = 30/2

λ = 15m.

But v = fλ where v = 340m/s and λ=15m

f = v/λ

f = 340/15

f = 22.7Hz.

You can see that the 4th harmonic is slightly above the lowest value of the audible range (20Hz).

Hence the frequency of the lowest harmonic audible to the human ear is at the fourth harmonic where f = 22.7Hz

c) the frequency of sound is independent on temperature because the energy this is because the number of particle oscillating in a tube is a constant.

Answer:

Fc = 7.14N

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert everything to the same unit system:

m = 0.0031kg     R = 13.1cm * 1m / 100cm = 0.131m      

ω = 50000 rev/min * 1rev /( 2π rad ) * 1min / 60s = 132.63 rad/s

Now we can calculate centripetal force as:

Fc = m * \frac{V^2}{R} = m * \frac{(\omega*R)^2}{R}=m*R*\omega ^2

Replacing the values we get the answer:

Fc = 7.14N

A 30.0-kg child sits on one end of a long uniform beam having a mass of 20.0 kg, and a 40.0-kg child sits on the other end. The
qaws [65]

let the length of the beam be "L"

from the diagram

AD = length of beam = L

AC = CD = AD/2 = L/2

BC = AC - AB = (L/2) - 1.10

BD = AD - AB = L - 1.10

m = mass of beam = 20 kg

m₁ = mass of child on left end = 30 kg

m₂ = mass of child on right end = 40 kg

using equilibrium of torque about B

(m₁ g) (AB) = (mg) (BC) + (m₂ g) (BD)

30 (1.10) = (20) ((L/2) - 1.10) + (40) (L - 1.10)

L = 1.98 m

madam [21]

Answer:

the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow.

Explanation:

We can answer this exercise using Gauss's law

      Ф = ∫ e . dA = q_{int} / ε₀

field flow is directly proportionate to the charge found inside it, therefore if we place a Gaussian surface outside the plastic spherical shell.  the flow must be zero since the charge of the sphere is equal  induced in the shell, for which the net charge is zero. we see with this analysis that this shell meets the requirement to block the elective field

From the same Gaussian law it follows that if the sphere is not in the center, the only effect it has is to create more induced charge at the closest points, but the net face remains zero, so it has no effect on the flow , so no matter where the sphere is, the total induced charge is always equal to the charge on the sphere.

Mrrafil [7]
<span>(a) 0.0676 l (b) 67.6 cc So we've been told that 5.00 L of blood flows through the heart every minute and that the heart beats 74.0 times per minute. So that means that for every beat of the heart, 5.00 L / 74.0 = 0.067567568 L of blood flows through the heart. Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.0676 l. Converting from liters to cubic centimeters simply require a multiplication by 1000, so we have 67.6 cc of blood pumped per beat.</span>
