In Fig. 16-42, a string, tied to a sinusoidal oscillator at Pand running over a support at Q, is stretched by a block of mass m.The separation L between P and Q is 1.20 m, and the frequency fof the oscillator is fixed at 120 Hz.The amplitude of the motion atP is small enough for that point to be considered a node.A nodealso exists at Q. A standing wave appears when the mass of thehanging block is 286.1 g or 447.0 g, but not for any intermediatemass.What is the linear density of the string?
In this problem take the speed of sound to be 341 m/s.
How fast, in meters per second, does an observer need to approach a stationary sound source in order to observe a 3.8 % increase in the emitted frequency?
