Question
A tuning fork A, marked 512Hz, produces 5 beats per second, where sounded with another unmarked tuning fork B. If B is loaded with wax the number of beats is again 5 per second. What is the frequency of the tuning fork B when not loaded?
✓

Answer

When the prong of B is loaded with wax, its frequency becomes less than the original frequency.
If we assume that the original frequency of B is 507, then on loading its frequency will be less than 507. The beats between A and B will be more than 5.
If we assume that the original frequency of B is 517, then on loading its frequency will be less than 517. The beats between A and B may be equal to 5.
Hence the frequency of the tuning fork B when not loaded should be 517.

A sample of air weighing 1.18 g occupies $1.0 \times 10^3 \mathrm{~cm}^3$ when kept at 300 K and $1.0 \times 10^5 \mathrm{~Pa}$. When 2.0 cal of heat is added to it at constant volume, its temperature increases by $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$. Calculate the amount of heat needed to increase the temperature of air by $1^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ at constant pressure if the mechanical equivalent of heat is $4.2 \times 10^7 \mathrm{erg} \mathrm{~cal}^{-1}$. Assume that air behaves as an ideal gas.
