AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on determining the end correction (c) for a sound wave in a single end closed tube using the equation l + c = λ/4. Participants clarify that the gradient of the graph represents v/4, leading to the conclusion that the speed of sound in air is calculated as v = 4 times the gradient. This interpretation resolves the confusion regarding the author's statement about the speed of sound. Understanding the relationship between the gradient and the speed of sound is essential for solving the problem accurately. The conversation emphasizes the importance of correctly interpreting the equations involved in sound wave analysis.

Homework Statement



to determine the c(end correction ) of sound wave of single end closed tube, the equtaion l +c= (lambda/4 ) is used , i don't understand the gradient is v/4 , then how does the author come up with the speed of sound in air is v=4 ?

No, the text means the speed, v, is 4*(gradient of graph).
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'Minimum mass of a block'

Here we know that if block B is going to move up or just be at the verge of moving up will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards Now what im confused by is how will we know " how quickly" block B reaches its maximum static friction value without any numbers, the suggested solution says that when block A is at its maximum extension, then block B will start to move up but with a certain set of values couldn't block A reach...

Figure 1 Overall Structure Diagram Figure 2: Top view of the piston when it is cylindrical A circular opening is created at a height of 5 meters above the water surface. Inside this opening is a sleeve-type piston with a cross-sectional area of 1 square meter. The piston is pulled to the right at a constant speed. The pulling force is（Figure 2）： F = ρshg = 1000 × 1 × 5 × 10 = 50,000 N. Figure 3: Modifying the structure to incorporate a fixed internal piston When I modify the piston...
