(choose chapter or problem)

The glass harmonica is a musical instrument invented by Ben Franklin. It consists of a nested set of crystal glass bowls with a rod running down the middle. The rod is supported at the ends and the bowls are spun rapidly using a foot pedal or a motor. The musician rubs her slightly damp finger around the edge of the glass and the resulting vibrations of the glass make a very pure tone. The harder the musician pushes against the glass, the louder the note (but the frequency stays the same). Explain how the glass harmonica works.
