The frequency of a stretched uniform wire of length $L$ under tension is in resonance with the fundamental frequency of a closed pipe of same length. If the tension in the wire is increased by $8 \ N$,it is in resonance with the first overtone of the same closed pipe. The initial tension in the wire is (in $N$)

    $4$
  • B
    $0.5$
  • C
    $2$

$A$ pipe open at one end has length $0.8 \,m$. At the open end of the tube, a string $0.5 \,m$ long is vibrating in its $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone and resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the string is $50 \,N$, what is the mass of the string (in $\,g$)? (Speed of sound $= 320 \,m/s$)
