Question

A 2 in long string fixed at both ends is set into vibrations in its first overtone. The wave speed on the string is 200m/s and thee amplitude is 0.5cm.

Find the wavelength and the frequency.
Write the equation giving the displacement of different points as a function of time. Choose the X-axis along the string with the origin at one end and t = 0 at the instant when the point x = 50cm has reached its maximum displacement.

Answer

$\text{V}=200\text{m/s},\ 2\text{A}=0.5\text{m}$

The string is vibrating in its 1^st overtone

$\Rightarrow\lambda=1=2\text{m}$

$\Rightarrow\text{f}=\frac{\text{v}}{\lambda}=100\text{Hz}$

The stationary wave equation is given by

$\text{y}=2\text{A}\cos\frac{2\pi\text{x}}{\lambda}\sin\frac{2\pi\text{Vt}}{\lambda}$

$=(0.5\text{cm})\cos\big[(\pi\text{m}^{-1})\text{x}\big]\sin\big[(200\pi\text{s}^{-1})\text{t}\big]$

In a children's park a heavy rod is pivoted at the centre and is made to rotate about the pivot so that the rod always remains horizontal. Two kids hold the rod near the ends and thus rotate with the rod (fig). Let the mass of each kid be 15 kg, the distance between the points of the rod where the two kids hold it be 3.0 m and suppose that the rod rotates at the rate of 20 revolutions per minute. Find the force of friction exerted by the rod on one of the kids.
