1.

In Fig. 16-43, an aluminum wire, of length L_1= 60.0 cm, cross-sectional area 1.25 xx 10^(-2)cm^(2) and density 2.60 "g/cm"^(3), is joined to a steel wire, of density 7.80 g/cm""^(3) and the same cross-sectional area. The compound wire, loaded with a block of mass m =10.0 kg, is arranged so that the distance L_2 from the joint to the supporting pulley is 86.6 cm. Transverse waves are set up on the wire by an external source of variable frequency: a node is located at the pulley, (a) Find the lowest frequency that generates a standing wave having the joint as one of the nodes. (b) How many nodes are observed at this frequency?
