A guitar with strings of length L = 0.69 m has new strings put on it. The low E string has a linear density of rho = 0.0079 kg/m and when tuned properly should produce a fundamental tone of ν = 82.41 Hz. Randomized Variables L 0.73 m p 0.0059 kg/m A 50% Part (a) What is the proper tension the string should be under, in Newtons?

Respuesta :

The maximum tension in the string is 102.2 N

Explanation:

The speed of the standing wave in the guitar can be found by using the wave equation:

[tex]v=f \lambda[/tex]

where

f is the frequency of the wave in the string

[tex]\lambda[/tex] is the wavelength

Here we know that:

[tex]f=82.41 Hz[/tex]

The wavelength of the standing wave in a string is twice the length of the string, so:

[tex]\lambda = 2 L = 2(0.69)=1.38 m[/tex]

Therefore, the speed is

[tex]v=(82.41)(1.38)=113.7 m/s[/tex]

The speed of the wave is also related to the tension in the string by the formula

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}[/tex]

where

T is the tension in the string

[tex]\mu[/tex] is the linear density of the string

Here we know that

[tex]\mu = 0.0079 kg/m[/tex]

So, we can re-arrange the equation to find T:

[tex]T=\mu v^2 = (0.0079)(113.7)^2=102.2 N[/tex]

The proper tension the string is mathematically given as

T=102.2 N

What is the proper tension the string should be under, in Newtons?

Question Parameter(s):

The low E string has a linear density of rho = 0.0079 kg/m

Randomized Variables L 0.73 m p 0.0059 kg/m A 50%

Generally, the equation for the speed   is mathematically given as

v=f *lambda

Where

lambda = 2 L

lambda= 2(0.69)

lambda=1.38 m

Therefore

v=(82.41)(1.38)

v=113.7 m/s

In conclusion, speed of the wave is

[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}[/tex]

T=u*v^2

T= (0.0079)(113.7)^2

T=102.2 N
