Concept explainers
If a transmission line in a cold climate collects ice, the increased diameter tends to cause vortex formation in a passing wind. The air pressure variations in the vortexes tend to cause the line to oscillate (gallop), especially if the frequency of the variations matches a resonant frequency of the line. In long lines, the resonant frequencies are so close that almost any wind speed can set up a resonant mode vigorous enough to pull down support towers or cause the line to short out with an adjacent line. If a transmission line has a length of 347 m, a linear density of 335 kg/m, and a tension of 65.2 MN, what are (a) the frequency of the fundamental mode and (b) the frequency difference between successive modes?

- The windpipe of one typical whooping crane is 5.00 feet long. What is the fundamental resonant frequency of the bird’s trachea, modeled as a narrow pipe closed at one end? Assume a temperature of 37°C.arrow_forwardan organ pipe whose length is held constant resonates at a frequency of 224 Hz when the air temperature is 15 degrees celcius. what will be its resonant frequency when the air temperature is 24 degrees celcius?arrow_forwardSince the density of air decreases with an increase in temperature, but the bulk modulus B is nearly independent of temperature, how would you expect the speed of sound waves in air to vary with temperature?arrow_forward
