Pipes Definition and 156 Threads

I have completed a lab on sound waves in which we measured the speed of sound in air(a vaccum) by measuring the lengths of pipes that would resonate tunning forks fundamental frequencies. One question I am asked to answer is to describe the relationship between the frequency of a sound and the...

Let's say that we have a 3/4" copper line to supply water. We have a volumetric flow of 20 gpm (0.0445 ft^3/s). With this, we have a velocity of 14.35 ft/s. Now, at the end of the copper line, I want to service two homes, so I split the service. Comming out of the 3/4" copper line, I have...

Hi! This is the first question on my homework, so it's suppost to be the easiest, but I'm not sure how to tackle it. It's a Bernoulli's principle problem. Here it is: A horizontal pipe 11.6 cm in diameter has a smooth reduction to a pipe 4.72 cm in diameter. If the pressure of the water...

Hello! I was looking for literature on working and details of "Organ pipes". Theory of how they work would help a lot too. In the end, I want to build shrunk down version of the same. What would limits of scaling be for the same? Any help is appreciated. Manu

I have recently heard a rumor that a hollow pipe can endure a greater load without bending than a solid rod. Is that true, and why? Thanks.

First of all, thanks to everyone on the physics forum! My semester is almost over and I know I never would have gotten through it without the help of the people on these boards :) Here's my question: A certain pipe produces a fundmanetal frequency of 218 Hz in air. If the pipe is filled with...
