One string of a certain musical instrument is 74.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.76 g. It is being played in a room where the speed of sound is 344 m/s.
To what tension must you adjust the string so that, when vibrating in its second overtone, it produces sound of wavelength 0.760 m ? (Assume that the breaking stress of the wire is very large and isn’t exceeded.)
What frequency sound does this string produce in its fundamental mode of vibration?
A person is playing a small flute 10.75 cm long, open at one end and closed at the other, near a taut string having a fundamental frequency of 600.0 Hz. If the speed of sound is 344.0 m/s, for which harmonics of the flute will the string resonate? In each case, which harmonic of the string is in resonance?
Two sitar strings A and B playing the note ‘Dha’ are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 5 Hz. The tension of the string B is slightly increased and the beat frequency is found to decrease to 3 Hz. What is the original frequency of B if the frequency of A is 427 Hz ?
