A particle with mass m moves on the surface of a cylinder with radius R. At the same time, the force F = -kr on the particle affects it through the z axis. Using the z-and θ generalized coordinates, find the system's hamitonians. Solve the Hamilton equation after defining the conservative quantities.

Like all our lab exercises, the waves and sound lab will use a PhET simulator. Some of these simulators require you to enable Java or Flash. You can download and use the simulator on your desktop, or for some labs you can run it in your browser. Preferred browser settings and system requirements can be found at the “Running Sims” FAQ: https://phet.colorado.edu/en/help-center/running-sims (Links to an external site.)
For this lab, we’ll use the “Sound Waves” simulator:
https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/legacy/sound (Links to an external site.)
This is a Java sim and will require a download of the software. Start the simulator, and spend some time learning the interface. We will be using the "Listen to a Single Source" and "Measure"tabs, so check out the interface in both. Understand the sliders, the pause function, and the measurement functions before you begin.
1. Use the Listen to a Single Source tab in Sound Waves to start your investigation of sound. Click Audio enabled so you can hear the sound.
2. Sound is produced when something vibrates; this movement causes disturbances in the surrounding air pressure. Investigate how the speaker cone moves to produce different sounds. Then, explain the relationships between the movement of the speaker cone and the sound that is made; include drawings to support your explanation. Record your observations and attach any necessary sketches as screenshots.
3. Use the tools on the Measure tab to find the speed of sound in air. Use the relevant equations to find which measurements you can make to discover the appropriate value.
Using a data table like the one below, record several measurements (at least 6-8 to minimize variance) of wavelength and frequency.
Trial |
Wavelength (m) |
Frequency (Hz) |
1 |

2 |

3 |

4 |

5 |
4. Graph your data points in Excel or another graphing application, making sure to choose axes such that you get the speed of sound as the proportionality constant of the line. Refer to the wave speed equation to confirm this. Then, perform a fit to the line. Show the equation of the trendline on your graph and discuss whether you think the data you took accurately describes the relationship between wave speed, wavelength, and frequency.
Compare the value you found in your line fit to the actual, published value for the speed of sound in air, and include a percent error calculation. You can find the given value in several places, including your textbook and the internet - just make sure to cite your source properly. Use a temperature of 20 degrees C.
5. If you wanted to know the period of a wave, and did not have the frequency slider information available, could you find it with the tools in the simulator? Describe the method you would use to find the frequency (i.e. which measurements you would take, and which calculations you would perform).
6. Now, test the method you developed in part 5. Choose two frequencies and use your method to find the period. Record:
Also, check to see how close you got - since period is the inverse of frequency (T = 1 f) then you can verify how well your method works. If it didn't work, describe any changes you would make to improve the results.
Lab Report:
Your lab report should be a typed document, with any necessary sketches or graphs attached as scans or picture files.
For the Sound Waves lab, hand in the following:
Part (a): Your preliminary observations and drawings from parts 1 and 2.
Part (b): Your data table and graph from part 3, and your calculated average speed, discussion of possible error, and citation for published speed of sound from part 4.
Part (c): A full description of the method you developed to find the period of a wave without knowing its frequency, including what measurements you would take and what calculations you would use. Also, your test of the method in full for two separate frequencies and your discussion of any errors and any changes you would make to the method.
