A solid copper object hangs at the bottom of a steel wire of negligible mass. The top end of the wire is fixed. When the wire is struck, it emits sound with a fundamental frequency of 300 Hz. The copper object is then submergedin water so that half its volume is below the water line. Determine the new fundamental frequency.
A copper block is suspended from a wire, as in part 1 of the drawing. A container of mercury is then raised up around the block, as in part 2, so that 45.0% of the block’s volume is submerged in the mercury. The density of copper is 8890 kg/m3, and that of mercury is 13 600 kg/m3. Find the ratio of the fundamental frequency of the wire in part 2 to the fundamental frequency in part 1.

- In about 1657, Otto von Guericke, inventor of the air pump, evacuated a sphere made of two brass hemispheres (Fig. P15.62). Two teams of eight horses each could pull the hemispheres apart only on some trials and then with greatest difficulty, with the resulting sound likened to a cannon firing. Find the force F required to pull the thin-walled evacuated hemispheres apart in terms of R, the radius of the hemispheres; P, the pressure inside the hemispheres; and atmospheric pressure P0. Figure P15.62arrow_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?
