Formula for the Length of the pipe.

In summary, the second overtune for a pipe open at both ends is 2000 Hz, with a speed of sound at 343 m/s. Using the equation λ = v/f, the calculated wavelength is 0.17 m. However, the relationship between this wavelength and the length of the pipe is not specified in the given problem. It is best to ask the teacher for the correct answer.

The second overtune for a pipe, open at both ends is 2000 Hz, the speed of the sound is 343 m/s. What is the length of the pipe?

Homework Equations


• λ = v/f

The Attempt at a Solution


λ = v/f = (340 m/s)/(2000 Hz) = 0.17 m
don't know if this is correct.
Thanks in advanced.

You found the wavelength of the sound. How is that related to the length of the pipe?

i don't know, it was in the problem given by our teacher. anyways, nvrmind my question, ill just asked him the correct answer.
 

What is the formula for the length of a pipe?

The formula for the length of a pipe is:
L = π * (d/2)^2 * n
where L is the length of the pipe, π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14), d is the diameter of the pipe, and n is the number of pipe sections.

How do you calculate the length of a pipe?

To calculate the length of a pipe, you can use the formula:
L = π * (d/2)^2 * n
where L is the length of the pipe, π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14), d is the diameter of the pipe, and n is the number of pipe sections. You can also use measurement tools like a ruler or measuring tape to physically measure the length of the pipe.

What units are used to measure the length of a pipe?

The length of a pipe can be measured in various units such as inches, feet, centimeters, or meters. The units used will depend on the system of measurement being used and the size of the pipe.

Can the formula for the length of a pipe be used for all types of pipes?

The formula for the length of a pipe can be used for most types of pipes, including cylindrical and circular pipes. However, it may not be applicable for pipes with irregular shapes or those that are not round.

What factors can affect the length of a pipe according to the formula?

The length of a pipe can be affected by several factors according to the formula. These include the diameter of the pipe, the number of pipe sections, and the accuracy of the measurement of these values. Other factors such as temperature, pressure, and material properties of the pipe may also impact the length of the pipe.
