Summary
























Standing waves in a pipe open at both ends are excited at a fundamental frequency fopen. When one end is closed and the pipe is again excited, the fundamental frequency is fclosed. How do these frequencies compare?
A. fclosed = fopen
B. fclosed = ½ fopen
C. fclosed = 2fopen
D. fclosed = 1.5fopen

The maximum gauge pressure in a hydraulic lift is 17.0 atm. What is the largest mass vehicle it can lift if the diameter of the output line is 28.0 cm? Walker4e figure 15-7 car on hydraulic lift
A. 10,800 kg
B. 7,710 kg
C. 1100 kg
D. 476 kg

Answer















 



B. fclosed = ½ fopen

Closing one end of the tube changes the fundamental wavelength from 2L to 4L. Doubling the wavelength cuts the frequency in half, so the fundamental frequency of a tube that is closed at one end is half that of a tube that is open at both ends.




















 



E. The pressures are all the same at the bottom.

The pressure in a fluid is determined only by the depth in the fluid, not the shape of the container.
