Answer:
when the tension is 72 pounds , the frequency is 900 hertz
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, I think I can help you with this.
you can easily solve this by using a rule of three.
According to the question data:
the pitch, or frequency, of a vibrating string varies directly with the square root of the tension.in mathematical terms it is:
f ∝ √T
where f is the pitch or frequency and T is the tension
Step 1
if a string vibrates at a frequency of 300 hertz due to a tension of 8 pounds
300 hertz ∝ √8 pounds
300⇔√8
what is the frequency when the tension is 72 pounds
x⇔√72
Step 2
Let
300⇔√8
x⇔√72
the relation is
[tex]\frac{300}{\sqrt{8} } =\frac{x}{\sqrt{72} }\\\\ Now, solve\ for\ x\\\\\\\frac{300*\sqrt{72} }{\sqrt{8} } =x\\x=\frac{300*\sqrt{72} }{\sqrt{8} } \\x=\frac{300*\sqrt{8*9}}{\sqrt{8}} \\x=\frac{300*\sqrt{8}*\sqrt{9}}{\sqrt{8}} \\x=300*\sqrt{9}\\x=300*3\\x=900[/tex]
when the tension is 72 pounds , the frequency is 900 hertz
have a good day.
