Chapter 17: Q. 44 (page 485)

A 75 g bungee cord has an equilibrium length of 1.20 m. The

cord is stretched to a length of 1.80 m, then vibrated at 20 Hz. This

produces a standing wave with two antinodes. What is the spring

constant of the bungee cord?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The spring constant of the bungee cord is90N/m.

Step by step solution

01

Force and frequency 

Force and frequency are related to isometric force.

02

Solution of force and frequency 

Hooke's law represents force as F when it is present in spring.

The spring is constant which is k and elongated as x is F=kx

Here, the frequency comes from the stretched cord which is f=m2Lv=m2LTμ

It can be stated that L0is the length of the cord in an unstretched scenario. here L is stretched length and M is mass.f=m2Lk(L-L0)M/L=m2(L-L0)MLk

03

Explanation of the constant force

Ther force can be explained as

k=(m2L-L0ML)-2f2⇒k=4f2ML(L-L0)m2

After subtracting the value contact will be

k=4.202·0.075·1.8(1.8-1.2)=90N/m

The stretch cords have created the sound waves but it does not create unstretched sounds.

Thus, linear density could be used for the stretched chords.

FIGURE EX17.15 shows a standing sound wave in an 80-cm-long tube. The tube is filled with an unknown gas. What is the speed of sound in this gas?

A flutist assembles her flute in a room where the speed of

sound is 342 m/s. When she plays the note A, it is in perfect tune

with a 440 Hz tuning fork. After a few minutes, the air inside her

flute has warmed to where the speed of sound is 346 m/s.

a. How many beats per second will she hear if she now plays the

note A as the tuning fork is sounded?

Scientists are testing a transparent material whose index of refraction for visible light varies with wavelength as n = 30.0 nm1/2 /l1/2, where l is in nm. If a 295-nm-thick coating is placed on glass 1n = 1.502 for what visible wavelengths will the reflected light have maximum constructive interference?

FIGURE EX17.28 shows the circular wave fronts emitted by two

wave sources.

a. Are these sources in phase or out of phase? Explain.

b. Make a table with rows labeled P, Q, and R and columns

labeled r1,r2,∆r,and C/D. Fill in the table for points P, Q,

and R, giving the distances as multiples of l and indicating,

with a C or a D, whether the interference at that point is

constructive or destructive.

Traditional Indonesian music uses an ensemble called a gamelan that is based on tuned percussion instruments somewhat like gongs. In Bali, the gongs are often grouped in pairs that are slightly out of tune with each other. When both are played at once, the beat frequency lends a distinctive vibrating quality to the music. Suppose a pair of gongs are tuned to produce notes at 151 Hz and 155 Hz. How many beats are heard if the gongs are struck together and both ring for 2.5 s?
