A string of mass per unit lengthμis clamped at both ends such that one end of the string is atx = 0and the other is atx = L. When the string vibrates in fundamental mode, the amplitude of the mid-pointOof the string isa, and tension in the string isT, Find the total oscillation energy stored in the string.

Options:

Answer:
A
Solution:

λ2=L

λ=2L

τ=μV2

The amplitude at a distance x from the origin is given by
A = asinkx
consider an element of mass dm and length dx of string at a distance x from the origin
The total energy of this element = its maximum KE

= 1 2 d m ω 2 A 2

= 1 2 μ d x 4 π 2 f 2 a 2 sin 2 k x

(Becauseμ= dm dx andω=2πfand it is given that A = a sinkx   )

total energy of string = 0 L 2 π 2 μ f 2 a 2 sin 2 k x d x

= π 2 μ f 2 a 2 [ x - sin 2 k x 2 ] 0 L

= π 2 μ f 2 a 2 L

= π 2 μ V 2 λ 2 a 2 L = π 2 4 L 2 T a 2 L = π 2 a 2 T 4 L
