AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating the wavelength of the lowest frequency for a 3.0 m organ pipe that is open at both ends, using a sound velocity of 331 m/s. The key formula involves the relationship between wavelength, frequency, and pipe length, specifically that the wavelength is twice the length of the pipe for the fundamental frequency. Participants are seeking clarification on their calculations, particularly how to derive the longest possible wavelength in the pipe. The conversation emphasizes understanding the fundamental frequency and its corresponding wavelength in a pipe configuration. Accurate application of the formulas is crucial for solving the problem effectively.

Homework Statement


A 3.0 organ pipe is open at both ends. The velocity of sound is 331 m/s. What is the wavelength of the lowest frequency?


Homework Equations


am i missing something...i need a lil help here!


The Attempt at a Solution



wavelength=2L/n fn=V/wavelength(n)=n(V/2L)=nf1
n(331)/(2)(3.0) ?

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
