A 44-cm-diameter water tank is filled with 35 cm of water. A 3.0-mm-diameter spigot at the very bottom of the tank is opened and water begins to flow out. The water falls into a 2.0-cm-diameter, 40-cm-tall glass cylinder. As the water falls and creates noise, resonance causes the column of air in the cylinder to produce a tone at the column’s fundamental frequency. What are (a) the frequency and (b) the rate at which the frequency is changing (Hz/s) when the cylinder has been filling for 4.0 s? You can assume that the height of the water in the tank does not appreciably change in 4.0 s.

Short Answer

Expert verified

a) The frequency is 523 Hz

b) The frequency is 8350 Hz/s

Step by step solution

01

The concept of the fundamental frequency 

The fundamental frequency is the lowest frequency in a periodic waveform.

02

Identification of the frequency 

The frequencyand the time are presented as f and t. The determination of the length is y which remains empty in time (t) and the tube length is L. Thus, the frequency is f=v4L

In this context, it will be 4(t)=v4y(t)

Then the description of the function will be f(t)

The total length of the tube is L=0.4

The volumetric flow rate of water will be Q --so the volume flowing per unit time is (L-y)A=QT

Here, A is the cross-sectional area of the tube which has both sides \filled with the volume of the water.

The expression of the cross-sectional area is A=πD24

D=0.02mis the diameter of the tube so the equation isL-y=4QTπD2y=L-4QTπD2

03

Assuming the height of the water

The volumetric flow rate is Q, the cross-section area is S and the speed is v.

Thus, Q=Sv

Based on the hydrodynamics it can be expressed as pgh=pv22v=2gh,

The h is the height of the tank so the subtraction would be Q=S2gh=π242gh

The remaining height as the function of time as y(t)=L-(D)2t2gh

Because of the flow rate but the speed gets higher and the cross-section gets smaller.

The formula is by the subtraction will be f(t)=v4(L-(D)2t2gh)

The provide numerical scenario is f(4)=3434(0.4-(330)2·42·9.8·0.35)

The subtraction of the diameters could be conducted as the units cancels out which is f(4)=523Hzand itis the ultimate result.

On the other hand, The frequency could be determined based on the derived frequency. therefore, the calculation of the frequency depends on the derived from the point of interest where t=4s

Thus, the outcome is dfdt=v4(-(D)22ghL-(D)2t2gh)

The given time is dfdt(4)=8350Hz/s

In this case, the height is approximatelyy16cmand responsible for 65% of filling.

Biologists think that some spiders “tune” strands of their web to give an enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those at which desirable prey might struggle. Orb spider web silk has a typical diameter of 20 µm, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m3. To have a fundamental frequency at 100 Hz, to what tension must a spider adjust a 12-cm-long strand of silk?

You are standing 2.5 m directly in front of one of the two loudspeakers shown in FIGURE P17.68. They are 3.0 m apart and both are playing a 686 Hz tone in phase. As you begin to walk directly away from the speaker, at what distances from the speaker do you hear a minimum sound intensity? The room temperature is 20°C.

||| A water wave is called a deep-water wave if the water’s depth

is more than one-quarter of the wavelength. Unlike the waves

we’ve considered in this chapter, the speed of a deep-water wave

depends on its wavelength:

v = B

gl

2p

Longer wavelengths travel faster. Let’s apply this to standing waves.

Consider a diving pool that is 5.0 m deep and 10.0 m wide. Standing

water waves can set up across the width of the pool. Because

water sloshes up and down at the sides of the pool, the boundary

conditions require antinodes at x = 0 and x = L. Thus a standing

water wave resembles a standing sound wave in an open-open tube.

a. What are the wavelengths of the first three standing-wave

modes for water in the pool? Do they satisfy the condition for

being deep-water waves?

b. What are the wave speeds for each of these waves?

c. Derive a general expression for the frequencies fm of the possible

standing waves. Your expression should be in terms of m, g, and L.

d. What are the oscillation periods of the first three standing wave

A vibrating standing wave on a string radiates a sound wave with intensity proportional to the square of the standing-wave amplitude. When a piano key is struck and held down, so that the string continues to vibrate, the sound level decreases by 8.0 dB in 1.0 s. What is the string’s damping time constant t?

If you take snapshots of a standing wave on a string, there are certain instants when the string is totally flat. What has happened to the energy of the wave at those instants?
