“Floppy Wire” Resonator f=57Hz For the floppy wire, we write the total force as: We use L= leg spacing + ¼ of leg length to define an effective drag coefficient for more direct comparison with straight wires
Summary • Quartz tuning forks support up to 4 flexure modes with high Q values. Velocity of the tip of the fork can be easily obtained using experimental fork constant for any of these modes. • Fork damping is governed by Stocks drag at low frequencies, and acoustic emission at high frequencies. • Frequency dependence of the critical velocity for turbulence nucleation using quartz tuning forks is consistent with expected ½ powerlaw dependence. • The drag in superfluid He4 at high temperatures and moderate velocities can be accounted for by the normal fluid alone [no drag from the superfluid]
