Elementary Acoustics Homework: Deducing End Correction

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a homework problem in elementary acoustics, specifically focusing on deducing end correction from a graph of length versus 1/frequency. The student successfully plotted the graph and determined the slope, which represented the speed of sound. However, they encountered difficulties in part (b) when trying to deduce the end correction, using the formula c = 0.6r. The student's calculated values did not match the y-axis intercept, indicating a misunderstanding or error in their approach. Clarification on the correct method to deduce end correction from the graph is sought.

Homework Statement

;
I plotted a graph of length against 1/frequency,determined the slope,which was the speed of sound. I got stucked in the (b) part,when asked to deduce the end correction from the graph drawn.[/B]

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution

;
I attempted using the formula end correction c,=0.6r to decipher its value experimentally, then compared it with my intercept at the y-axis which was the length(l).The values wvalues didnt correspond,and I knew I was wrong[/B]

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...
