The correct Answer is:
To determine the type of organ pipe based on the given pressure equation, we will analyze the pressure at different positions along the pipe. The pressure is given by: \[ P = P_0 \cos\left(\frac{3\pi x}{2}\right) \sin(300\pi t) \] where \( x \) is in meters and \( t \) is in seconds. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Closed End**: - The closed end of the organ pipe will have maximum pressure, which occurs when the cosine term is equal to 1. - Substitute \( x = 0 \) into the pressure equation: \[ P = P_0 \cos\left(\frac{3\pi \cdot 0}{2}\right) \sin(300\pi t) = P_0 \cos(0) \sin(300\pi t) = P_0 \cdot 1 \cdot \sin(300\pi t) \] - Since \( \cos(0) = 1 \), the pressure is maximum at \( x = 0 \). 2. **Check the Open End**: - The open end of the organ pipe will have minimum pressure, which occurs when the cosine term is equal to 0. - Substitute \( x = 1 \) into the pressure equation: \[ P = P_0 \cos\left(\frac{3\pi \cdot 1}{2}\right) \sin(300\pi t) = P_0 \cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) \sin(300\pi t) \] - Since \( \cos\left(\frac{3\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \), the pressure is minimum at \( x = 1 \). 3. **Check for Maximum Pressure Again**: - Now, check at \( x = 2 \): \[ P = P_0 \cos\left(\frac{3\pi \cdot 2}{2}\right) \sin(300\pi t) = P_0 \cos(3\pi) \sin(300\pi t) \] - Since \( \cos(3\pi) = -1 \), the pressure is maximum (but negative) at \( x = 2 \). 4. **Conclusion**: - We have found that at \( x = 0 \) (closed end), the pressure is maximum, and at \( x = 1 \) (open end), the pressure is minimum. At \( x = 2 \), the pressure is also maximum (but negative). - This indicates that the organ pipe is closed at both ends. ### Final Answer: The organ pipe can be classified as a **closed organ pipe**.
