A granite rod of 60 cm length is clamped at its middle point and is set into longitudinal vibrations. The density of granite is 2.7 x 103 kg/mand its Young’s modulus is 9.27 x 1010 Pa. What will be the fundamental frequency of the longitudinal vibrations?

  • 7.5 kHz

  • 5 kHz

  • 2.5 kHz

  • 10 kHz

Solution

B.

5 kHz

In solids, Velocity of wave

V = Yρ = 9.27 x 10102.7 x 103v = 5.83 x 103 m/sec

Since rod is clamped at middle fundamental wave shape is as follow

λ2 = L λ = 2Lλ = 1.2 m( L - 60 cm = 0.6 m )using v = fλ f = vλ =5.85 x 1031.2= 4.88 x 103 Hz  5 KHz
