Musical Instruments: A man wants to learn to play guitar. He finds a model he likes for $559. He places a finger on a string so that 0.52 m of the string is free to vibrate, but clamped at both ends. He does not know it, but the speed of waves in the string is 235 m/s. (a) When he plucks the string, what pitch (frequency) will it produce? (b) The man really likes the guitar- and the note he played. He still has $13.96 after his purchase, so he buys some wood to build a resonant cavity to amplify this sound: a wooden box open at one end. How long should he make the box? Assume the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.

: You are abducted by aliens and find yourself locked in a large room on some strangeplanet. To pass the time, you decide to do some experiments using a ball-and-chain thatyou find on the floor. You make the following estimates:mBALL  7 kg ,mCHAIN  0.5 kg, and CHAIN  2 m .(a) When you hold the free end of the chain above your head and allow the ball to swinglike a pendulum, you use your wristwatch to measure the period asT  4 s. What is theacceleration due to gravity on this planet?(b) If the ball accidentally hits a wall, how long does it take for this jolt in the chain totravel up to your hand?
In the movie Back to the Future, Marty travels back in time to 1955. In 1955, the only available light bulbs in the United States were incandescent bulbs. Assume that last year, you traveled back in time to 1955 and changed all the light bulbs in a single average American household (45 light bulbs) from 75-watt incandescent bulbs to the corresponding 17-watt LED bulbs. The estimated usage is 3 hours per day , at a cost of $0.11 per kilowatt-hour . Based on energy cost alone - not considering the cost to replace any light bulbs and not considering any changes in energy cost with time - how much money in dollars would this household have saved over a 66-year time span (from 1955 to 2021) by changing from incandescent to LED bulbs?
PROPAGATION OF ERROR You are tasked to supervise the design of 0.5MW wind turbine to be constructed in a Wind Farm in Pililla, Rizal. Suppose the design criteria are as follows: The air density as surveyed after 2 year period averaged at 1.225 kg / cubic meter. The sweeping diameter of the rotor blades is 125m, and the anemometer reading in the area amounts to 4.2m/s on a 2 year period of survey. What is the theoretical power output of the turbine assuming 100% efficiency of operation? Your answer must be in kW and in two decimal places with correct signs. In the previous problem, if the diameter measurement is off by 0.1m and the anemometer reading is also fluctuating by 0.05m/s and if the error measurement for theoretical power output must be limited to 3%, WHY OR WHY NOT should you accept the design? * Show complete solution in paper.

Aiming a 1.69 in diameter garden hose straight up, forms a “bubbler fountain” that you could easily drink from (but you shouldn’t because of bacteria, etc.). The water flows out the hose and down the sides. If the water has a density of 63.1 lbm/ft^3 and a viscosity of 0.0119 g/cm*s, what is the thickness of the water film (df) (in cm) if the flow rate of water is 6.42 in^3/s? For simplicity, assume the film is thin enough that you can use rectangular coordinates.
A tentative rule was given about tipping in Testing Experiment Table 8.4, where if a vertical line passing through the object's center of mass is within the object's area of support the object does not tip. According to the rule, the full box of crackers in the following experiment, which has a width of 13 cm and a height of 20 cm, was seen to tip at an angle of: θc=tan−1(13 cm/20 cm)=33∘θ According to the rule, at what angle will a box with the left half filled with crackers begin to tip? Assume the box is light-weight and that the contents remain in the configuration in
