Two vibrating strings $A$ and $B$ of the same material but lengths $3 L$ and $2 L$ have radii $2 r$ and $3 r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. String $A$ vibrates in the second overtone and string $B$ in the fundamental mode. The ratio of their frequencies $n_A / n_B$ will be:

$A$ wire of density $9 \times 10^{-3} \,kg\, cm^{-3}$ is stretched between two clamps $1 \,m$ apart. The resulting strain in the wire is $4.9 \times 10^{-4}$. The lowest frequency of the transverse vibrations in the wire is......$Hz$ (Young's modulus of wire $Y = 9 \times 10^{10} \,N m^{-2}$),(to the nearest integer).

$A$ metallic wire of length $L$ is fixed between two rigid supports. If the wire is cooled through a temperature difference $\Delta T$ ($Y =$ Young's modulus,$\rho =$ density,$\alpha =$ coefficient of linear expansion),then the frequency of transverse vibration is proportional to:

$A$ 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

When a vibrating tuning fork is placed on a sound box of a sonometer,$8$ beats per second are heard when the length of the sonometer wire is kept at $101 \,cm$ or $100 \,cm$. Then the frequency of the tuning fork is (Consider that the tension in the wire is kept constant). (in $\,Hz$)
