84. As shown in Figure 15-28, a music box<br />

contains a set of steel fingers clamped at<br />

one end and plucked on the other end by<br />

pins on a rotating drum. What is the speed<br />

of a wave on a finger that is 2.4 cm long<br />

and plays a note of 1760 Hz?<br />

Steel fingers<br />

The length of the steel finger clamped<br />

at one end and free to vibrate at the<br />

other is 1<br />

85. An open organ pipe is 1.65 m long. What<br />

fundamental frequency note will it produce<br />

if it is played in helium at 0°C?<br />

An open pipe has a length equal to<br />

one-half its fundamental wavelength.<br />

Therefore, 3.30 m. The speed of<br />

sound in helium is 972 m/s. Therefore,<br />

122.5 m deep, as illustrated in Figure<br />

15-29, how soon after you drop the stone<br />

will you hear it hit the bottom of the well?<br />
