Problem with Standing Waves in Air Columns
Hello, I'm having problems with this problem, lol...so far, i have found one of the main components of the following question, but I don't know where to go from there. please help
Water is pumped into a tall vertical cylinder at a volume flow rate R. The radius of the cylinder is r, and at the open top of the cylinder a tuning fork is vibrating with a frequency f. As the water rises, how much time elapses between successive resonances?
Ok, so far, this is what I got. I consider R to be V (volume) and since volume of a cylinder is pi(r^2)h where h is the height and equal to L. And since this considers harmonics, L= (wavelength)/4, therefore f= (V speed of sound)/(4L)
So I replaced L with (Volume/area of base or R/(pi*r^2) and solved to find frequency. But i don't know where to go about finding the TIME ELAPSED!
Please help. Thank you
