AI Thread Summary
The first resonant length of a closed air column is 30.0 cm, leading to calculations for the second and third resonant lengths. The second resonant length is determined to be 90.0 cm, and the third is 150.0 cm, based on the relationship of multiples of the fundamental frequency. The wavelength is calculated as 120 cm, with the second resonant length corresponding to three-quarters of a wavelength. Understanding the positioning of nodes and antinodes is crucial for these calculations. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly applying the quarter wavelength principle in resonant length calculations.

Homework Statement


The 1st rensonat length of a closed air column occurs when the length is 30.0cm. what will the send ond and third be?

Homework Equations


I did the pattern thign like 3/4 but i got the wrong answer.

The Attempt at a Solution



i multplied the legth 3/4 but i got the wrong answer.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Second = 30.0*3=90.0 (cm)
Third= 30.0*5 = 150.0(cm)
u can draw graphs to know why.
 
A node is situated at the closed end an antinode at the open end. The "smallest structure" of the wavelenght that can accommodate this is a quarter wavelength.Which means that the wavelength is 120 cm. The next waveform will be three quarters of a wavelength (again a node at the closed end and an antinode at the open end).

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'

In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanged 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...
