To determine the sound propagation velocity in air by acoustic resonance technique, one can use a pipe with a piston and a sonic membrane, closing one of its ends. Find the velocity of sound, if the distance between the adjacent positions of the piston, at which resonance is observed, at a frequency v=2000 Hz, is equal to l=8.5 cm.

Find the number of possible natural oscillations of air column in a pipe, whose frequencies lie below v0=1250 Hz. The length of the pipe is l=85 cm. The velocity of sound is v=340 m s-1. Consider the two cases:

(a) the pipe is closed from one end;

(b) the pipe is opened from both ends. The open ends of the pipe are assumed to be the anti nodes of displacement.

A source of sonic oscillations with frequency f0=1000 Hz, moves at right angles to the wall with a velocity u=0.17 m s-1. Two stationary receivers R1 and R2 are located on a straight line, coinciding with the trajectory of the source, in the following succession: R1-source-R2-wall.

A stationary observer receives sonic oscillations from two tuning forks, one of which approaches, and the other recedes with the same velocity. As this takes place, the observer hears the beatings with frequency fB=2.0 Hz. Find the velocity of each tuning fork if their oscillation frequency is f0=680 Hz and the velocity of sound in air is v=340 m s-1.
