#3. The contrabassoon is a wind instrument capable of sounding the lowest pitch in an orchestra. It is folded over several times to fit its impressive 18 ft length into a reasonable size instrument. a. If we model the instrument as an open-closed tube, what is its fundamental frequency? The sound speed inside is 350 m/s because the air is warmed by the players' breath. b. The actual fundamental frequency of the contrabassoon is 27.5 Hz, which should be different from your answer in part a. This means the model of the instrument as an open- closed tube is a bit too simple. But if you insist on using that model, what is the "effective length" of the instrument?

A violin string of length L=31.8 cm and linear mass density µ=0.64gm/is tuned to play an A4 note at 440.0 Hz. This means that the string is in its mode of oscillation fundamental, that is, it will be on that note without placing any fingers on it. From this information, A. Calculate the tension in the string that will keep it in tune. B. If the midpoint of the string is observed to have a maximum transverse motion of 2.59 mm when in the fundamental mode, what is the maximum speed vy máx of the antinode of the string? C. If the string tension is reduced by 6.3% of the tension found in part A, what is the resulting frequency of the note produced? D. When playing the violin, different notes can be produced depending on the position of the fingers of one hand on the string. The usual technique presses the string hard against the fretboard, reducing the length of the string that can vibrate. If we consider this string initially tuned for an A4, and a finger is placed a third of the way down…
