Answer» Given info : A piece of wire 50 cm long is stretched by a LOAD of 2.5 kg and has a mass of 1.44 gm. To find : The FREQUENCY of the second harmonic is.. solution : length of wire, l = 50CM = 0.5 m the wire is stretched by load, T = 2.5 kgf = 25 N [ g = 10 m/s² ] mass of the wire, m = 1.44 gm linear mass density, μ = mass of wire/length of wire = 1.44 × 10¯³/0.5 = 2.88 × 10¯³ kg/m using formula, F = 2n₁ = 2 × 1/2l √(T/μ) = 1/l √(T/μ) now, f = 1/0.5 √(25/2.88 × 10¯³) = √(25000/2.88) = 186.34 Hz Therefore the frequency of second harmonic is 186.34 Hz. |
