Wind instruments have an adjustable joint to change the tube length. Players know that they may need to adjust this joint to stay in tune—that is, to stay at the correct frequency. To see why, suppose a “cold” flute plays the note A at 440 Hz when the air temperature is 20°C.a. How long is the tube? At 20°C, the speed of sound in air is 343 m/s.b. As the player blows air through the flute, the air inside the instrument warms up. Once the air temperature inside the flute has risen to 32°C, increasing the speed of sound to 350 m/s, what is the frequency?c. At the higher temperature, how must the length of the tube be changed to bring the frequency back to 440 Hz?
A person wants to make a metronome for music practice. He uses a 32 gram object attached to a spring to serve as the time standard. What is the desired spring constant for the spring if the object needs to make 1 vibration each second? Assume that the spring obeys Hooke's Law and ignore any possible damping due to air resistance or friction.
