Three identical blocks connected by ideal (massless) strings are being pulled along a horizontal frictionless surface by a horizontal force F⃗ . (Figure 1)The magnitude of the tension in the string between blocks B and C is T = 3.00 N . Assume that each block has mass m = 0.400 kg .

Two loudspeakers, 5.5 m apart and facing each other, play identical sounds of the same frequency. you stand halfway between them, where there is a maximum of sound intensity. moving from this point toward one of the speakers, you encounter a minimum of sound intensity when you have moved 0.33 m . assume the speed of sound is 340 m/s.part a) what is the frequency of the sound? part b) if the frequency is then increased while you remain 0.21 m from the center, what is the first frequency for which that location will be a maximum of sound intensity? express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
