Solve a Sound Wave Problem: Tuning Fork Frequency & Resonance

AI Thread Summary
To solve the sound wave problem involving a tuning fork and an open tube, the maximum sound intensity occurs at a tube length of 0.5 meters, indicating resonance. The wavelength can be calculated using the formula wavelength = 2L/n, where L is the length of the tube and n is the harmonic number. The fundamental frequency is given by f1 = nV/2L, where V is the speed of sound. For an open pipe, harmonics can be produced at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. Understanding these relationships is crucial for determining the tuning fork frequency and the conditions for resonance.

Can somebody help mi out to understand more this problem.
Open at both ends tube with variable length and vibrating tuning fork is helded near one end. Lenght is .5 meter when the sound intensity is maximum.
Find wavelength of sound, tuning fork frequency, and frequency which produce resonance. Thanks for any help

Think of fundamental frequency and harmonics.

What is the relationship between wavelength with respect to the length of the tube? What is the relationship between speed of sound, wavelength and frequency?
 
Since this is open pipe
wavelength = 2L/n frequency f1= nV/2L and 2*f1
is this ok?
 

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'

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...
