What is Tuning fork: Definition and 56 Discussions
A tuning fork is an acoustic resonator in the form of a two-pronged fork with the prongs (tines) formed from a U-shaped bar of elastic metal (usually steel). It resonates at a specific constant pitch when set vibrating by striking it against a surface or with an object, and emits a pure musical tone once the high overtones fade out. A tuning fork's pitch depends on the length and mass of the two prongs. They are traditional sources of standard pitch for tuning musical instruments.
The tuning fork was invented in 1711 by British musician John Shore, Sergeant trumpeter and lutenist to the court.
Q: The prong of a tuning fork moves back and forth when it is set into vibration. The distance the prong moves between its extreme positions is 2.29 mm. If the frequency of the tuning fork is 440.2 Hz, what are the maximum velocity and the maximum acceleration of the prong? Assume SHM.

Q:
A tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 264 Hz and the tip of each prong moves 1.66 mm to either side of center. Calculate the maximum speed of the tip of a prong.
So far I've found that Vmax = omega*A, but I don't know how to find A. Am I going in the wrong direction? Or is there a way...
I have a 62cc engine on the back of a scooter frame made for an unmodified 41.5 cc engine. The engine is putting out a ton of power for what it is, 8hp maybe from 5 stock, and i sheared two of the 4 engine mount bolts right off. I am going to tap out the threads to accept a bigger diameter bolt...
hi:
my questions says the following:
A tuning fork labeled 392 Hz has the tip of each of its two prongs vibrating with an amplitude of 0.600 mm.
What is the maximum speed of the tip of a prong?
for this part i found omega= frequency*2pi
then plugged that in V= omega*Amplitude, so my...
Special Help Plz!
Somone please show me how to answer the question below and please explain to me why. thanks
Suppose a piano tuner hears 2 beats per second when listening to the combined sound from her tuning fork and the piano note being tuned. After slightly tightening the string, she...
if I drop a vibrating 440 Hz tuning fork down the elevator shaft of a tall building and when I hear a freq. of 400 Hz, is it possible to determine how far has the tuning fork fallen? My friend said yes but I think no. Am i right?
