Determining the Wavelength of Sound using Resonance Tube

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around determining the wavelength of sound using a resonance tube, with a focus on the equation f = v/2l, where f is frequency, v is wave speed, and l is the length of the tube. Participants express uncertainty about relevant equations and seek clarification on the expected graph of 1/f versus L. There is mention of potential errors in the experimental setup, highlighting the need for guidance from experienced physicists. The conversation emphasizes the relationship between sound waves in tubes, particularly in closed pipes. Overall, the thread seeks to clarify the theoretical and practical aspects of sound wavelength determination.

Homework Equations


I honestly do not know any relevant equations for this relationship.
Well except f=v/2l.

The Attempt at a Solution


The only thing I could assume that it was was some sort of error , but I cannot find much material on the topic , so I was hoping to get the opinion of a well experienced physicist.

for which you expect the graph of 1/f versus L to look how ?

(oh, and check the 2: that is for a closed pipe).
 
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 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...
