Suppose that two speakers are connected to a single nail with two strings to form a triangular shape. One string has a 3rd harmonic wave of 300 Hz and weighs 3 g/m. The other string has a fundamental frequency of 400 Hz and weighs 4 g/m. Both strings have a tension of 2N

When the speakers play at 1600 Hz, what interference happens at the location of the nail?

Speed of sound is 343 m/s

Solutions

Expert Solution

Third harmonic of first string is and fundamental frequency of second string

Third harmonic frequency of standing wave and fundamental frequency of standing wave

Velocity of wave on first string and velocity of wave on the second string

That is the distance between first speaker and nail is and distance between the second speaker and the nail is

Difference between the distances is the path length of two sound waves from two speakers.

Wavelength of sound wave is

For sonstructive interference at nail,

For destructive interferece at nail where

From the values of , and

Hence at the position of nail, destructive interference happens .

The two speakers are placed 37.2 cm apart. A single oscillator makes the speakers vibrate in phase at a frequency of 2.02 kHz. At what angles, measured from the perpendicular bisector of the line joining the speakers, would a distant observer hear maximum sound intensity? Minimum sound intensity? (Take the speed of sound to be 340 m/s.) maximum intensities: (List smallest angle first.) θ1max = ° θ2max = ° θ3max = ° minimum intensities: (List smallest angle first.) θ1min = ° θ2min = °

A 24 kg mass is connected to a nail on a frictionless table by a massless string 1.1 m long. There is no appreciable friction between the nail and the string. If the tension in the string is 54 N while the mass moves in a uniform circle on the table, how long does it take for the mass to make one complete revolution? (Give answer to the nearest 0.1 s)

Suppose you attend an important panel on business management and hear two speakers discuss:Speaker A: "To maximize profits, a monopolist must obviously produce where the gap between price and average cost is greatest."Speaker B: "No, to maximize total profits, the company must produce where the gap between price and marginal cost is greater, as this will maximize monopoly power and, therefore, profits."Despite how sophisticated these arguments may seem, what have these entrepreneurs not understood? Correct these erroneous reasoning.

Nail color in the North American sasquatch is controlled by a single gene with 2 alleles. The completely recessive allele (n) results in a yellow nail, while the dominant allele (N) results in a black nail. A female sasquatch with black nails mates with a male sasquatch with yellow nails. Two of their 5 offspring have yellow nails. a. What are the genotypes of the male and female sasquatch? How do you know? B. Suppose one of the yellow-nailed...
