    The document is a mini-quiz summarizing a lecture discussion of the dispersion relation ω2 = v2k2 + αk4. It describes that this relationship provides a good approximation for modeling a string in musical instruments. The term αk4 originates from the stiffness of the string, with α having units of m4/sec2. As an example, the effect of stiffness on the 10th harmonic of a piano string with a fundamental frequency of 80 Hz was calculated.

    October 26, 2004 mini-Quiz #6 8.03 Your name . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

    . Mark your recitation: R01 R02 R03 R04 R05 In lectures, we discussed the following dispersion relation 2 = v 2 k 2 + k 4
    1. (4 pts) What is the medium for which this relationship is a fairly good approximation? A string in musical instruments.

    2. (4 pts) What is the origin of the term k 4 ? The stiness of the string is responsible for this term. The restoring force due to the tension is approximately proportional to k 2 , the restoring force due to stiness is approximately proportional to k 4 . We chose a specic example, and calculated the eect this has on the tenth harmonic of a piano string whose fundamental is about 80 Hz.

    3. (2 pts) What are the SI units of ? k 4 must have the same units as 2 which is sec2 . Since k has units m1 , has units m4 /sec2 .
