A 0.325 g wire is stretched between two points 57.7 cm apart. The tension in the wire is 650 N. Find the frequency of first harmonic. Answer in units of Hz.

Respuesta :

Answer:

f = 931.1 Hz

Explanation:

Given,

Mass of the wire, m = 0.325 g

Length of the stretch, L = 57.7 cm = 0.577 m

Tension in the wire, T = 650 N

Frequency for the first harmonic = ?

we know,

[tex]v =\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}}[/tex]

μ is the mass per unit length

μ = 0.325 x 10⁻³/ 0.577

μ = 0.563 x 10⁻³ Kg/m

now,

[tex]v =\sqrt{\dfrac{650}{0.563\times 10^{-3}}}[/tex]

   v = 1074.49 m/s

The wire is fixed at both ends. Nodes occur at fixed ends.

For First harmonic when there is a node at each end and the longest possible wavelength will have condition

          λ=2 L

          λ=2 x 0.577 = 1.154 m

we now,

       v = f λ

      [tex]f = \dfrac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

      [tex]f = \dfrac{1074.49}{1.154}[/tex]

             f = 931.1 Hz

The frequency for first harmonic is equal to f = 931.1 Hz

The frequency of first harmonic will be "931.1 Hz". To understand the calculation, check below.

Tension and Frequency

According to the question,

Wire's mass, m = 0.325 g

Stretch's length, L = 57.7 cm or,

                              = 0.577 m

Wire's tension, T = 650 N

Mass per unit, μ = [tex]\frac{0.325\times 10^{-3}}{0.577}[/tex]

                            = 0.563 × 10⁻³ Kg/m

We know the relation,

→ v = [tex]\frac{T}{\mu}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

     = [tex]\frac{650}{0.563\times 10^{-3}}[/tex]

     = 1074.49 m/s

Now,

→λ = 2 L

    = 2 × 0.577

    = 1.154 m

hence,

The frequency will be:

→ f = [tex]\frac{v}{\lambda}[/tex]

By substituting the values,

    = [tex]\frac{1074.49}{1.154}[/tex]

    = 931.1 Hz

Thus the above response is correct.
