Question
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/m3 and 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 =
Since rod is clamped at middle fundamental wave shape is as follow
