Correct answer: 400

  1. Fundamental frequency of a closed organ pipe

For a closed organ pipe, f1=v4Lf_1=\frac{v}{4L}f1​=4Lv​ where LLL is the air column length.


  1. Initial length of air column

Given initial fundamental frequency: f1=30 Hzf_1=30\,\text{Hz}f1​=30Hz L1=v4f1=3304×30=330120=2.75 mL_1=\frac{v}{4f_1}=\frac{330}{4\times 30}=\frac{330}{120}=2.75\,\text{m}L1​=4f1​v​=4×30330​=120330​=2.75m


  1. Final length of air column after pouring water

New fundamental frequency: f2=110 Hzf_2=110\,\text{Hz}f2​=110Hz So new air column length is L2=v4f2=3304×110=330440=0.75 mL_2=\frac{v}{4f_2}=\frac{330}{4\times 110}=\frac{330}{440}=0.75\,\text{m}L2​=4f2​v​=4×110330​=440330​=0.75m


  1. Height of water poured

The water reduces the air column length, so height of water added is h=L1−L2=2.75−0.75=2.0 mh=L_1-L_2=2.75-0.75=2.0\,\text{m}h=L1​−L2​=2.75−0.75=2.0m


  1. Volume of water poured

Cross-sectional area: A=2 cm2=2×10−4 m2A=2\,\text{cm}^2=2\times 10^{-4}\,\text{m}^2A=2cm2=2×10−4m2

Thus volume of water is V=Ah=(2×10−4)(2.0)=4×10−4 m3V=Ah=(2\times 10^{-4})(2.0)=4\times 10^{-4}\,\text{m}^3V=Ah=(2×10−4)(2.0)=4×10−4m3

Convert to cm3\text{cm}^3cm3: 1 m3=106 cm31\,\text{m}^3=10^6\,\text{cm}^31m3=106cm3 V=4×10−4×106=400 cm3V=4\times 10^{-4}\times 10^6=400\,\text{cm}^3V=4×10−4×106=400cm3


  1. Mass of water

Since density of water is 1 g/cm31\,\text{g/cm}^31g/cm3, m=400 gm=400\,\text{g}m=400g


  1. Final answer

The amount of water poured is 400\boxed{400}400​ (g)
