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?
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.
