A hollow pipe of length 0.8 m is closed at one end. At its open end a 0.5 m long uniform string is vibrating in fourth harmonic, and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the wire is 50 N and the speed of sound is 320 m/s, the mass of string is
Options
- A g
- B g
- C g
- D g
Correct answer
B. g
Step-by-step solution
The fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe of length is given by .
Substituting the given values, m/s and m:
Hz
The frequency of the fourth harmonic of a string of length fixed at both ends is given by , where is the tension and is the linear mass density.
Given that the string resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe, Hz.
Substituting m and N:
Squaring both sides, we get:
kg/m
The mass of the string is the product of its linear mass density and length:
kg
Converting to grams, g.
