Chapter , Problem 64

(choose chapter or problem)

A fl autist is playing a fl ute as discussed in Example 6, but now the temperature is 305 K instead of 293 K. As a result, the speed of sound is no longer 343 m/s. Therefore, with the length calculated in Example 6, the note middle C does not have the proper fundamental frequency of 261.6 Hz. In other words, the fl ute is out of tune. To adjust the tuning, the fl autist can alter the fl utes length by changing the extent to which the head joint (see Figure 17.21) is inserted into the main stem of the instrument. To what length must the fl ute be adjusted to play middle C at its proper frequency?
