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

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.

In 1866, the German scientist Adolph Kundt developed a

technique for accurately measuring the speed of sound in various gases. A long glass tube, known today as a Kundt’s tube, has a vibrating piston at one end and is closed at the other. Very finely ground particles of cork are sprinkled in the bottom of the tube before the piston is inserted. As the vibrating piston is slowly moved forward, there are a few positions that cause the cork particles to collect in small, regularly spaced piles along the bottom. FIGURE P17.53 shows an experiment in which the tube is filled with pure oxygen and the piston is driven at 400 Hz. What is the speed of sound in oxygen?

FIGURE Q17.3 shows the displacement of a standing sound wave in a 32-cm-long horizontal tube of air open at both ends. a. What mode (m-value) is this? b. Are the air molecules moving horizontally or vertically? Explain. c. At what distances from the left end of the tube do the molecules oscillate with maximum amplitude? d. At what distances from the left end of the tube does the air pressure oscillate with maximum amplitude?
