An iron load of $2 \ kg$ is suspended in air from the free end of a sonometer wire of length $1 \ m$. $A$ tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz$ is in resonance with $\frac{1}{\sqrt{7}}$ times the length of the sonometer wire. If the load is immersed in water,the length of the wire in metres that will be in resonance with the same tuning fork is (Specific gravity of iron $= 8$).

Two uniform stretched strings $A$ and $B$,made of steel,are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$ and if the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$,the ratio of the lengths of the strings is

Calculate the frequency of the second harmonic formed on a string of length $0.5 \ m$ and mass $2 \times 10^{-4} \ kg$ when stretched with a tension of $20 \ N$.

One insulated conductor from a household extension cord has a mass per unit length of $\mu$. $A$ section of this conductor is held under tension between two clamps. $A$ subsection is located in a magnetic field of magnitude $B$ directed perpendicular to the length of the cord. When the cord carries an $AC$ current of $i$ at a frequency of $f$,it vibrates in resonance in its simplest standing-wave vibration state. Determine the relationship that must be satisfied between the separation $d$ of the clamps and the tension $T$ in the cord.

$A$ sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges when a mass of $9 \,kg$ is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by a mass $M$, the wire resonates with the same tuning fork forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of $M$ is

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is $50 \ Hz$ for a given length and tension. If the length is increased by $25 \%$ while keeping the tension constant,what is the percentage change in the frequency of the second harmonic?
