Get started for freeBiologists 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?
FIGURE EX17.3a is a snapshot graph at t = 0 s of two waves approaching each other at 1.0 m/s. At what time was the snapshot graph in FIGURE EX17.3b taken?
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?
FIGURE EX17.6 shows a standing wave on a 2.0-m-long string that has been fixed at both ends and tightened until the wave speed is 40 m/s. What is the frequency?
A 2.0-m-long string vibrates at its second-harmonic frequency with a maximum amplitude of 2.0 cm. One end of the string is at x = 0 cm. Find the oscillation amplitude at x = 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 cm.
