The lowest note on a grand piano has a frequency of 27.5 Hz. The entire string is 2.00 m long and has a mass of 440g . The vibrating section of the string is 1.75m long.
What tension is needed to tune this string properly?
The frequency of vibrating string in its lowest mode is, \(v=\frac{v}{\lambda}=\frac{1}{2 L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}\)
Here, \(L\) is length of vibrating string, \(T\) is tension in the string, and \(\mu\) is linear mass density. \(\begin{aligned} \mu &=\frac{\text { mass of the string }}{\text { length of the string }} \\ &=\frac{0.44 \mathrm{~kg}}{2 \mathrm{~m}} \\ &=0.22 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m} \end{aligned}\)
Tension in the string, \(T=(2 L v)^{2} \mu\)
\(=4(1.75 \mathrm{~m})^{2}(27.5 \mathrm{~Hz})^{2}(0.22 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m})\)
\(=2038 \mathrm{~N}\)

While attempting to tune the note C at 131 Hz, a piano tuner hears 5.00 beats/s between a reference oscillator and the string. (a) What are the possible frequencies of the string? (Give the frequencies to the nearest integer.) lower possible frequency Hz higher possible frequency Hz (b) When she tightens the string slightly, she hears 6.00 beats/s. What is the frequency of the string now? (Give the frequency to the nearest integer.) Hz (c) By what percentage should the...
A cellist tunes the C-string of her instrument to a fundamental frequency of 65.4 Hz . The vibrating portion of the string is 0.600 m long and has a mass of 14.7 g . What percentage increase in tension is needed to increase the frequency from 65.4 Hz to 73.4 Hz , corresponding to a rise in pitch from C to D?
The third harmonic of a guitar string produces a note with a frequency of 330 Hz from a string with a linear mass density of 4.47*10-3 kg/m. The length of the guitar string is 0.65 meters. Draw a picture of the standing wave described above. Label the nodes and antinodes. Determine the wavelength of the standing wave that produces this note. What is the length of the guitar string (just the part that’s vibrating)? What is the tension in the...
A tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 530 Hz. An out-of-tune piano string vibrates at 535 Hz. How much time separates successive beats?
The lowest string of a certain guitar is 64 cm long and has a mass density of 6.3 g/m. The string is fixed at its ends by the bridge and the nut of the guitar. (a) What tension in the string is required to tune it so that its fundamental frequency matches the E2 musical note at 82.41 Hz? Give an answer in both N and lbs. (b) The effective string length can be shortened by pressing your finger down...
12. A longitudinal standing wave can be created in a long, thin aluminum rod by stroking the rod with very dry fingers. This is often done as a physics demonstration, creating a high-pitched, very annoying whine. From a wave perspective, the standing wave is equivalent to a sound standing wave in an open-open tube. In particular, both ends of the rod are anti-nodes. What is the fundamental frequency of a 2.50 m -long aluminum rod? The speed of sound in...
