L = length = 20 cm = 0.20 m
A = area of cross-section = 130 mm2 = 130 x 10-6 m2
Volume is given as
V = A L
V = (130 x 10-6) (0.20)
V = 26 x 10-6 m3
= density = 1100
kg/m3
mass is given as
M = V
inserting the values
M = (1100) (26 x 10-6)
M = 0.0286 kg
m = mass per unit length = M/L = 0.0286/0.20 = 0.143 kg/m
T = tension force = 400 N
fundamental frequency is given as
f = (1/(2L)) sqrt(T/m)
f = (1/(2 x 0.20)) sqrt(400/0.143)
f = 132.2 Hz

m Review Constants Periodic Table Tendons are, essentially, elastic cords stretched between two fixed ends, as such, they can support standing waves. These resonances can be undesirable. The Achilles tendon connects the heel with a muscle in the calf. A woman has a 20-cm-long tendon with a cross-section area of 120 mm . The density of tendon tissue is 1100 kg/m2 Part A For a reasonable tension of 000 N. what will be the fundamental resonant frequency of her Achilles...
