    Frequency & Length of Resonating Pipes

    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...

    Maximizing Water Pressure in Split Pipe Systems | Calculating Pressure Loss

    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...

    Solving Bernoulli's Principle Problem: Flow Rate in Horizontal Pipes

    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...

    Can you make cardboard organ pipes?

    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

    Are hollow pipes less likely to bend under weight

    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.

    Solving Frequency in Pipes - eku_girl

    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...
