A metre-long tube open at one end, with a movable piston at the other end, shows resonance with a fixed frequency source (a tuning fork of frequency 340 Hz) when the tube length is 25.5 cm or 79.3 cm. Estimate the speed of sound in air at the temperature of the experiment. The edge effects may be neglected.

A pipe 20 cm long is closed at one end. Which harmonic mode of the pipe is resonantly excited by a 430 Hz source ? Will the same source be in resonance with the pipe if both ends are open? (speed of sound in air is 1340 m s^-1 )

A resonance pipe is open at both ends and 30 cm of its length is in resoance with an external frequency 1.1 kHz.If the speed of sound is 330 m s^(-1) which harmonic is in resonance?

One end of a long string of linear mass density 8.0 xx 10^-3 kg m^-1 is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of 90 kg. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At t= 0, the left end (fork end) of the string x = 0 has zero transverse displacement (y = 0) and is moving along positive y-direction. The amplitude of the wave is 5.0 cm. Write down the transverse displacement y asfunction of x and tthat describes the wave on the string

A metre long narrow bore held horizontally (and closed at one end) contains a 76 cm long mercury thread, which traps a 15 cm column of air. What happens if the tube is held vertically with the open end at the bottom ?

Glycerine flows steadily through a horizontal tube of length 1.5 m and radius 1.0 cm. If the amount of glycerine collected per second at one end is 4.0xx 10^-3 kg s^-1 , what is the pressure difference between the two ends of the tube ? (Density of glycerine = 1.3xx 10^3 kg m^-3 and viscosity of glycerine = 0.83 Pa s). [You may also like to check if the assumption of laminar flow in the tube is correct].

When two cotton plugs, one moistened with ammonia and the other with hydrochloric acid, are sumulataneously inserted into opposite ends of a glass tube 87.0 cm long, a white ring of NH_(4)Cl forms where gaseous NH_(3) and gaseous HCl first come into contact. NH_(3)(g)+HCl(g)rarrNH_(4)Cl(s) At what distance from the ammonis-moistened plug does this occur?
