Best Answer

When played with a bow, the friction of the bow (horse hair, or a synthetic material, usually rubbed with a sticky resin of some type) being pushed or pulled across the strings causes the string to vibrate, and therefore, for sound to be created.

The bow of the violin is what makes the sound that you are most familiar with as a stringed instrument sound. Violinists put rosin (maple sap) on their bows to help the bow hair (horse hair) get friction on the strings. Hope this was helpful!


How is a clarinet connected to friction?

You can argue that when air passes through the body and holes it creates friction. Also, the whole mechanism when interacting with rods, screws and other keys can create friction.


How violin produces vibrations?

When the bow is rubbed against the strings, microscopic hairs on the hair of the bow create immense friction with the string. This causes the string to vibrate rapidly. The vibrating string, in turn, causes the violin to vibrate.


What does a flywheel cover plate do?

It sandwiches the clutch friction plate to the flywheel. The flywheel is connected to the engine, the friction plate is connected to the gearbox. Strong springs inside the cover plate hold the friction plate firmly to the flywheel. When the clutch lever is operated, springs in the cover plate are compressed, thus releasing the pressure on the friction plate, disengaging the gearbox from the engine.


How does a violin string make a sound?

When you pull the bow over the string(s) the hairs on the bow cause the string(s) to vibrate and send the sond to the body of the violin, where it is ampilfyed and sent out the "f-holes"
