Problem 61P For a string stretched between two supports, two successive standing-wave frequencies are 525 Hz and 630 Hz. There are other standing-wave frequencies lower than 525 Hz and higher than 630 Hz. If the speed of transverse waves on the string is 384 m/s, what i

Problem 35P According to the Sackur-Tetrode equation, the entropy of a monatomic ideal gas can become negative when its temperature (and hence its energy) is sufficiently low. Of course this is absurd, so the Sackur-Tetrode equation must be invalid at very low temperatures. Suppose you start with a s

The compound fusarisetin A (isolated from a soil fungus) displays significant anticancer activity without detectable cytotoxicity (toxicity to cells). A key step in a reported synthesis of the enantiomer of fusarisetin A involves a Dieckmann cyclization followed by the intramolecular formation of a h
