Effect Of Tension On Resonance And Amplitude
PLANNING
Aim
The aim of the experiment is to investigate the effect of tension on
resonance and amplitude of a string.
Basis Personal Knowledge
This experiment is based on the resonance, frequency and amplitude.
From what I have learnt in class and everyday life, I know that when a
string of any kind is plucked, it moves to and fro. The movement
causes the air molecules around it to vibrate. When it moves fast
enough, the vibrations cause a sound to be heard.
Research
Some research was carried out into the principles on which the
experiment is based.
The frequency of an oscillation is defined as the number of cycles
executed per unit time (Salters Horners Advanced Physics)
That is for a spring the time taken for it to move to and fro once is
its frequency. Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz).
Each object has its own natural frequency. (Physics For You by Keith
Johnson). Resonance occurs when the applied frequency equals the
natural frequency of the object.
Therefore when the string to be used in the experiment is plucked and
the applied frequency equals its natural frequency then resonance
occurs.
The resonant frequency of a string can be increased by:
* Shortening the length
* Increasing the tension
* Using a lighter string
Variables and Constants
The experiment is basically concerned with the effect that the tension
will have on the frequency and amplitude. Therefore, the basic
variable will be the tension of the string. The constant in this case
would be the thickness of the string, as it will not be changed. This
should ensure that the experiment is fairly accurate as its thickness
can affect the resonance.
Application of Principles
The principles of frequency, resonance and amplitude are largely
applied in many engineering projects.
The understanding of the above principle is vital to ensure that
bridges are safe to travel on.

that just because you perceive something to be a certain way does not mean that it is true.
To test this relationship an experiment will have to be performed. where the time period for an oscillation of a spring system is related. to the mass applied at the end of the spring. Variables that could affect T Mass applied to spring; preliminary experiments should be performed to. assess suitable sizes of masses and intervals between different masses.

One of the most famous saying of all time is that “we live until we die”. We start learning from the moment we are born, firstly the basic human functions, than our parents and society teaches us how to behave correctly, not to make bad things, to help one another. We go to school, we start learning all kinds of subjects, maybe for somebody some of them are irrelevant, but we are supposed to know a little bit from everything. With time, we start to love some particular subject better than the rest, we can`t wait until that class comes so we could learn more about that subject. When finishing high school, we are at one of the first and one of the biggest crossroads in our entire life – what next? Should we go to college and improve about knowledge (and if I go, to what college, and what could be my major), what should I do next with my life, what do I want to do for the rest of my life? But maybe the most important question of them all is does my
Darley and Lantaè write that you need to notice that something is happening. Darley and Lantaè claim you need to interpret that event as an emergency. Darley and Lantanè also claim that you need to decide that he has a personal responsibility. Darley and
The principle applies especially to the way we decide what constitutes correct behavior. We view a behavior as correct in a given situation to the degree that we see others performing it.” (Cialdini pg 99) As examples of social proof, I think of relationship and marriage anniversaries as well as birthday parties such as sweet 16-’s. In the eyes of many a correct behavior when it comes to anniversaries is when the guy in a relationship or marriage buys an expensive gift preferably jewelry for the girl that he loves and takes her out for dinner to show his appreciation towards her on this day. Birthday parties such as sweet 16’s are another way of correct behavior to many and are typically thrown for the girls by their parents. When it’s a girl’s 16th birthday the girl looks forward to celebrating this massive party with their friends and family as a birthday that they will always
only shape emotions but also reflect the dominant views of emotion, their relative importance, and the socially accepted ways of dealing with them. It is frequently assumed that feeling rules create a tense relationship between socially expected emotions and actually experienced emotions. This tension gives rise to “emotional dissonance” or “emotional deviance” (Hochschild, 1983). Hochschild notes that feeling rules are effective in principle in two ways: as individual expectations of how we (and probably others) usually or “normally” feel in a specific situation (e.g., we expect to feel bored during the lecture of a certain colleague) or as social expectations how we should feel in this situation (Hochschild, 1979).
Sufficient length of string was attached to the hanger so that the free end wraps once round the axle of the flywheel. 5. The mass was winded up to an appropriate height. 6. Verified that the string fell off the axle when the mass hit the ground.
My parents and teachers have taught me that in order for me to be successful in the future, I should always be aware of the consequences to bad things. For example, if you are seen under the influence of drugs or alcohol and one of your friends post a picture or video of you on the internet, it could completely ruin your future. When people tell you that whatever you post on the internet stays there forever, they really mean it. This
Sound is essentially a wave produced by a vibrating source. This compression and rarefaction of matter will transfer to the surrounding particles, for instance air molecules. Rhythmic variations in air pressure are therefore created which are detected by the ear and perceived as sound. The frequency of a sound wave is the number of these oscillations that passes through a given point each second. It is the compression of the medium particles that actually constitute a sound wave, and which classifies it as longitudinal. As opposed to transverse waves (eg. light waves), in which case the particles move perpendicular to the direction of the wave movement, the medium particles are moving in the same or opposite direction as the wave (Russell, D. A., 1998).
