Question:
Your artist friend wants to create an aural as well as a visual effect in a new wind sculpture. The sculpture would be hung from two wires that would resonate in the wind, creating audible sounds like a kind of “Aeolian Harp.” Your friend wants the two wires to produce a C4(262 Hz) and a G4(392 Hz).
The basic design involves attaching the two ends of one wire to two eye hooks in the ceiling that are one and a half feet apart. The second wire, from which the 25-pound sculpture is hung, would be attached to the middle of the first wire, forming a “Y-shaped” arrangement.
Your friend has been able to hang the sculpture, but not tune the wires to the correct notes and asks for your help. You take a sample of the wire back to your lab and measure its linear mass density to be 5.0 g/m.
What is your advice to your friend?
