A 5.00 m, 0.732 kgwire is used to support two uniform235 N posts of equal length(Fig. ). Assume that thewire is essentially horizontal andthat the speed of sound is 344 m/s.A strong wind is blowing, causingthe wire to vibrate in its 5th overtone.What are the frequency andwavelength of the sound this wireproduces?
A steel with with a linear density of 3.78 kg/m is stretched between two nails and has a tension of 180.53 N. When the wire is struck, it stands a pulse down itself. What is the speed of the pulse?
One technique of estimating the length of a metal is by recording the time it takes for a pulse to travel from one end to the other. The student finds that the time is 0.00349 s. The Young’s modulus of metal 127325340650 is N/m2; and its density is 9260 kg/m3. How long is the rod?
