(II) One end of a horizontal string of linear density 6.6 × 10−4 kg/m is attached to a small-amplitude mechanical 120-Hz oscillator. The string passes over a pulley, a distance ℓ = 1.50 m away, and weights are hung from this end, Fig. 15-37. What mass m must lie hung from this end of the string to produce (a) one loop, (b) two loops, and (c) five loops of a standing wave? Assume the string at the oscillator is a node, which is nearly true.

- Check Your Understanding Why are completely undamped harmonic oscillators so rare?arrow_forwardAn automobile with a mass of 1000 kg, including passengers, settles 1.0 cm closer to the road for every additional 100 kg of passengers. It is driven with a constant horizontal component of speed 20 km/h over a washboard road with sinusoidal bumps. The amplitude and wavelength of the sine curve are 5.0 cm and 20 cm, respectively. The distance between the front and back wheels is 2.4 m. Find the amplitude of oscillation of the automobile, assuming it moves vertically as an undamped driven harmonic oscillator. Neglect the mass of the wheels and springs and assume that the wheels are always in contact with the road.arrow_forwardP 18-27 In the arrangement shown in the figure below, an object can be hung from a string (with linear mass density µ = 0.002 00 kg/m) that passes over a light pulley. The string is connected to a vibrator (of constant frequency f), and the length of the string between point P and the pulley is L = 2.00 m. When the mass m of the object is either 16.0 kg or 25.0 kg, standing waves are observed; no standing waves are observed with any mass between these values, however. page-559 (a) What is the frequency of the vibrator? Note: The greater the tension in the string, the smaller the number of nodes in the standing wave. (b) What is the largest object mass for which standing waves could be observed?

For each pair, what phase shift (in radians and in degrees) is needed to shift the curve for A to coincide with the curve for B? Of the many possible answers, choose the shift with the smallest absolute magnitude.

Show that, if you assume that the Earth has aconstant density, the subsequent motion of the apple is simple harmonic. How long will the apple take to return? Assume that we can ignore all fric-tional effects.arrow_forward
- (III) When a player's finger presses a guitar string down onto a fret, the length of the vibrating portion of the string is shortened, thereby increasing the string's fundamental frequency (see Fig. 12–36). The string's tension and mass per unit length remain unchanged. If the unfingered length of the string is l = 75.0 cm, determine the positions x of the first six frets, if each fret raises the pitch of the fundamental by one musical note compared to the neighboring fret. On the equally tempered chromatic scale, the ratio of frequencies of neighboring notes is 21/12 FIGURE 12–36 Problem 43. l = 75.0 cmarrow_forwardA diving board oscillates with simple harmonic motion of frequency 2.5 cycles per second.
