Get started for free(I)A \(12\;{\rm{cm}}\) radius air duct is used to replenish the air of a room \(8.2\;{\rm{m}} \times 5.0\;{\rm{m}} \times 3.5\;{\rm{m}}\) every \(12\;{\rm{min}}\). How fast does the air flow in the duct?
(a) \(\sqrt 2 \). (b) 2. (c) 4. (d) 8.
Two strings on a musical instrument are tuned to play at 392 Hz (G) and 494 Hz (B). (a) What are the frequencies of the first two overtones for each string? (b) If the two strings have the same length and are under the same tension, what must be the ratio of their masses (c) If the strings, instead, have the same mass per unit length and are under the same tension, what is the ratio of their lengths (d) If their masses and lengths are the same, what must be the ratio of the tensions in the two strings?
An oxygen atom at a particular site within a DNA molecule can be made to execute simple harmonic motion when illuminated by infrared light. The oxygen atom is bound with a spring-like chemical bond to a phosphorus atom, which is rigidly attached to the DNA backbone. The oscillation of the oxygen atom occurs with frequency \(f = 3.7 \times {10^{13}}\;{\rm{Hz}}\). If the oxygen atom at this site is chemically replaced with a sulfur atom, the spring constant of the bond is unchanged (sulfur is just below oxygen in the Periodic Table). Predict the frequency after the sulfur substitution.
