Solve a Sound Wave Problem: Tuning Fork Frequency & Resonance

AI Thread Summary
To solve the sound wave problem involving a tuning fork and an open tube, the maximum sound intensity occurs at a tube length of 0.5 meters, indicating resonance. The wavelength can be calculated using the formula wavelength = 2L/n, where L is the length of the tube and n is the harmonic number. The fundamental frequency is given by f1 = nV/2L, where V is the speed of sound. For an open pipe, harmonics can be produced at integer multiples of the fundamental frequency. Understanding these relationships is crucial for determining the tuning fork frequency and the conditions for resonance.

Can somebody help mi out to understand more this problem.
Open at both ends tube with variable length and vibrating tuning fork is helded near one end. Lenght is .5 meter when the sound intensity is maximum.
Find wavelength of sound, tuning fork frequency, and frequency which produce resonance. Thanks for any help

Think of fundamental frequency and harmonics.

What is the relationship between wavelength with respect to the length of the tube? What is the relationship between speed of sound, wavelength and frequency?
 
Since this is open pipe
wavelength = 2L/n frequency f1= nV/2L and 2*f1
is this ok?

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 ##Mg \sin \theta ## will act downwards and maximum static friction will act downwards ## \mu Mg \cos \theta ## 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...
