    Which Frequency is NOT Possible for a Vibrating String?

    Homework Statement A string (m = 1 kg) fixed at both ends is vibrating in its second harmonic mode. If the length of the string is 2 m and it feels 50 N of tension, which of the following is NOT a possible harmonic frequency for this string? a) 1.25 Hz b) 2.5 Hz c) 5 Hz d) 10 Hz e) 20 Hz...

    What factors affect the frequency of harmonics in a soda bottle?

    I saw a question "If you blow across the open end of a soda bottle and produce a tone of 250 Hz, what will be the frequency of the next harmonic heard if you blow much harder?" the answer is 750 Hz but I'm curious about "if you blow much harder" part, is it really depends on how much harder...

    I Finding Harmonic Relationships Between Frequencies in Experimental Data

    I'm trying to relate some different frequencies together in an experiment. Say I have 3 different frequencies, \omega_1,\omega_2, \omega_3. Omega 3 is the large envelope, and the other two must fit inside of it, and so they are integer multiples of each other. Is there some way to express...

    What is the length of a vibrating metal wire at its third harmonic frequency?

    Homework Statement A metal wire is vibrating at its third-harmonic frequency. 0.32 m from one end, the amplitude is equal to one quarter the maximum amplitude. Find the length of the wire. Homework EquationsThe Attempt at a Solution I don't quite understand the question, it says 0.32m from one...

    Simple harmonic frequency clarification

    A massless spring with spring constant 23.5 N/m hangs vertically. A body of mass 0.30 kg is attached to its free end and then released. Assume that the spring was unstretched before the body was released. What is the frequency of oscillation of the resulting motion, assumed to be simple...
