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.
