ON17 P52 Q2 Standing Waves

 9702/52/O/N/17: A student is investigating stationary waves on a stretched elastic cord. A vibrator attached to the cord is connected to a signal generator. The apparatus is set up as shown in Fig. 2.1.

The  mass  M  attached  to  the  cord  is  adjusted  until  resonance  is  obtained.  The  number  n  of  antinodes on the stationary wave is recorded. The experiment is repeated with different masses to obtain different values of n. It is suggested that M and n are related by the equation

\(f = \dfrac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\dfrac{Mg}{\mu}} \)

where f  is  the  frequency  of  the  vibrator,  g  is  the  acceleration  of  free  fall,  L  is  the  length  of  the  elastic cord and n is the mass per unit length of the elastic cord.

  1. hey miss for the error bar in point (0.040,300) shouldn't the error bar be on 330 since the uncertainty for 300 is +- 30. yours in on 350. is is okay if mine is on 330?
