AI Thread Summary
The fundamental frequency of a stretched string and a closed pipe can be equal under specific conditions, as expressed by the equation v/2L for the string and v/4L for the pipe. This equality occurs when the ratio of the speed of sound in the two mediums (string and air) and their respective lengths are considered. Factors influencing their frequencies include the lengths of the string and pipe, as well as any elements that affect the speed of sound in each medium. Understanding these relationships is crucial for analyzing sound production in different systems.

HI
As we know, the fundametal freq of a stretched string is f=v/2L
while the fundametal freq. of a closed pipe is f=v/4L
then,
how can the fundametal freq. of both can be the same?!

and, what factors would affect their freq.?!
 
Physics news on Phys.org
The frequencies will be the same when \frac{v_1}{2L_1} = \frac{v_2}{4L_2}, of course. The speed is the speed of sound: in the string and in air. The fundamental frequencies will be affected by their lengths and whatever affects the speed of sound--look it up! :smile:
 
thank you very much
 

Thread 'Maxwell stress tensor'

This is from Griffiths' Electrodynamics, 3rd edition, page 352. I am trying to calculate the divergence of the Maxwell stress tensor. The tensor is given as ##T_{ij} =\epsilon_0 (E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} E^2)+\frac 1 {\mu_0}(B_iB_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij} B^2)##. To make things easier, I just want to focus on the part with the electrical field, i.e. I want to find the divergence of ##E_{ij}=E_iE_j-\frac 1 2 \delta_{ij}E^2##. In matrix form, this tensor should look like this...

Thread 'Applying the Gauss (1835) formula for force between 2 parallel DC currents'

Please can anyone either:- (1) point me to a derivation of the perpendicular force (Fy) between two very long parallel wires carrying steady currents utilising the formula of Gauss for the force F along the line r between 2 charges? Or alternatively (2) point out where I have gone wrong in my method? I am having problems with calculating the direction and magnitude of the force as expected from modern (Biot-Savart-Maxwell-Lorentz) formula. Here is my method and results so far:- This...
