Problem 79GP
A tuning fork vibrates at a frequency of 264 Hz, and the tip of each prong moves 1.8 mm to either side of center. Calculate (a) the maximum speed and (b) the maximum acceleration of the tip of a prong.
ANSWER:
Solution 79 GP
a.)
Step 1 of 2
We have to calculate the maximum speed of the tip of a prong of a tuning fork.
The maximum speed of the tip of the prong can be calculated using the expression,
Where,
vibration frequency of
tuning fork = 264 Hz
Amplitude = 1.8m
Hence,
= 3.0 m/s
Therefore, the maximum speed of the tip of the prong is 3.0 m/s.
b.)
