$A$ string with a mass density of $4 \times 10^{-3} \, kg/m$ is under a tension of $360 \, N$ and is fixed at both ends. One of its resonance frequencies is $375 \, Hz$. The next higher resonance frequency is $450 \, Hz$. The mass of the string is:

  • A
    $2 \times 10^{-3} \, kg$
  • B
    $3 \times 10^{-3} \, kg$
  • C
    $4 \times 10^{-3} \, kg$
  • D

In an experiment to study standing waves,you use a string whose mass per unit length is $\mu = (1.0 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$. You look at the fundamental mode,whose frequency $f$ is related to the length $L$ and tension $T$ of the string by the equation $L = \frac{1}{2f} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$. You make a plot with $L$ on the $y$-axis and $\sqrt{T}$ on the $x$-axis,and find that the best-fitting line is $y = (8.0 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{-3}x + (0.2 \pm 0.04)$ in $SI$ units. What is the value of the frequency of the wave (including the error)? Express your result in $SI$ units $(Hz)$.

$A$ string of length $1 \,m$ and mass $2 \times 10^{-5} \,kg$ is under tension $T$. When the string vibrates, two successive harmonics are found to occur at frequencies $750 \,Hz$ and $1000 \,Hz$. The value of tension $T$ is . . . . . . Newton.

If we add $3 \ kg$ load to the hanger of a sonometer,the fundamental frequency becomes two times its initial value. The initial load must be (in $kg$)

Two wires of the same material with radii $r$ and $2r$ respectively are welded together end to end. The combination is then used as a sonometer wire under tension $T$. The joint is kept midway between the two bridges. The ratio of the number of loops in the wires,given that the joint is a node,is:
