- Three metal rods are located relative to each other as shown in Figure P17.68. where Ls = L1 + L2. The speed of sound in a rod is given by = Y/p, where Y is Youngs modulus for the rod and is the density. Values of density and Young's modulus for the three materials are 1 = 2.70 X 103 kg/m3, Y1 = 7.00 1010 N/m, 2 = 11.3 103 kg/m3, = 1.60 1010 N/m2. s = 8.80 103 kg/m3 Ys = 11.0 1010N/m2. If L3 = 1.50m, what must the ratio L1/L2if a sound wave is to travel the length of rods 1 and 2 in the same time interval required for the wave to travel the length of rod 3?arrow_forwardAs shown in Figure P14.37, water is pumped into a tall, vertical cylinder at a volume flow rate R. The radius of the cylinder is r, and at the open top of the cylinder a tuning fork is vibrating with a frequency f. As the water rises, what time interval elapses between successive resonances? Figure P14.37 Problems 37 and 38.arrow_forwardAs in Figure P18.16, a simple harmonic oscillator is attached to a rope of linear mass density 5.4 102 kg/m, creating a standing transverse wave. There is a 3.6-kg block hanging from the other end of the rope over a pulley. The oscillator has an angular frequency of 43.2 rad/s and an amplitude of 24.6 cm. a. What is the distance between adjacent nodes? b. If the angular frequency of the oscillator doubles, what happens to the distance between adjacent nodes? c. If the mass of the block is doubled instead, what happens to the distance between adjacent nodes? d. If the amplitude of the oscillator is doubled, what happens to the distance between adjacent nodes? FIGURE P18.16arrow_forward
