Problem 27P

If you were to build a pipe organ with open-tube pipes spanning the range of human hearing (20 Hz to 20 kHz), what would be the range of the lengths of pipes required?

ANSWER:

Solution 27PIntroductionIn this problem, the initial and final volume and temperature is given. We have to calculatethe final pressure using the ideal gas equation.SolutionStep 1The ideal gas equation isPV = nRT PV = nR TNow if the amount of gas remains constant, then the right hand side of the above equationbecomes constant. Hence we can write that PV T = constantOr in other words we can write that P1V1 P2V2 T1 = T2
