Textbook Question
Chapter 16, Problem 26P
Parasaurolophus was a dinosaur whose distinguishing feature was a hollow crest on the head. The 1.5-m-long hollow tube in the crest had connections to the nose and throat, leading some investigators to hypothesize that the tube was a resonant chamber for vocalization. If you model the tube as an open-closed system, what are the first three resonant frequencies? Assume a speed of sound of 350 m/s.
