I wiht my assignment on the physics of a drum

AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on a Year 10 student's assignment about the physics of drums. Participants share several helpful online resources that explain the physics concepts related to drums, including animations of resonance modes and equations for standing waves. Suggested websites cover topics like resonant energy transfer, drum pitches, and tuning. The student expresses gratitude for the assistance received. These resources aim to enhance understanding of the physics involved in drum mechanics.

Here are a few websites about physics of drums, to get you started..
(jusk click on the blue underlined text to see the reference). You can also find more using your favorite search engine with keywords "drums" and "physics".

Animations showing the various modes of ahttp://www.kettering.edu/~drussell/Demos/MembraneCircle/Circle.html (drum).. This one illustrates some nice animations of modes of resonance for a drum.

how about http://www.physics.usask.ca/~hirose/ep225/animation/drum/anim-drum.htm in a drum membrane.. This one goes into some basic equations for standing waves of a drum.

How about one on the http://www.ic.sunysb.edu/Stu/mjavadif/mec104/#physics ..
Here are a few topics they go into: Intro to Drums, Physics of the Drum, Resonant Energy Transfer/Resonance, Drums and their Pitches, Tuning of Drums.

Hope some of these websites may be helpful. :wink:

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
