To calculate:The frequency of the tuning fork.

Answer to Problem 56A
The frequency of the tuning fork is
Explanation of Solution
Given info:
A tuning fork vibrates over the mouth of a vertical tube filled with water.
First resonance length (
Second resonance length (
Formula used:
The distance between water levels is equal to the distance between two successive nodes of half of a wavelength.
In addition, the frequency is given by
Calculation:
As per the problem
First resonance length (
Second resonance length (
Wavelength of the resonant sound
Calculate frequency using the wavelength calculated above and take speed of sound in air
Conclusion:
Thus, thefrequency of the tuning fork is

- Mick and Rick are twins born on Earth in the year 2175. Rick grows up to be an Earth-bound robotics technician while Mick becomes an intergalactic astronaut. Mick leaves the Earth on his first space mission in the year 2200 and travels, according to his clock, for 10 years at a speed of 0.75c. Unfortunately, at this point in his journey, the structure of his ship undergoes mechanical breakdown and the ship explodes. How old is Rick when his brother dies?arrow_forwardHi, I have canceled, why did you charge me again?arrow_forwardNo chatgpt pls will upvotearrow_forward
