Chapter 17: Q. 79 (page 487)

When mass M is tied to the bottom of a long, thin wire suspended

from the ceiling, the wire’s second-harmonic frequency is

200 Hz. Adding an additional 1.0 kg to the hanging mass increases

the second-harmonic frequency to 245 Hz. What is M?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The solution gives

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 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.

A manufacturing firm has hired your company, Acoustical Consulting, to help with a problem. Their employees are complaining about the annoying hum from a piece of machinery. Using a frequency meter, you quickly determine that the machine emits a rather loud sound at 1200 Hz. After investigating, you tell the owner that you cannot solve the problem entirely, but you can at least improve the situation by eliminating reflections of this sound from the walls. You propose to do this by installing mesh screens in front of the walls. A portion of the sound will reflect from the mesh; the rest will pass through the mesh and reflect from the wall. How far should the mesh be placed in front of the wall for this scheme to work?

If you pour liquid into a tall, narrow glass, you may hear sound with a steadily rising pitch. What is the source of the sound? And why does the pitch rise as the glass fills?
