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

  • A
    $1:3$
  • B
    $1:2$
  • C
    $2:3$
  • D
    $3:4$

$A$ string in a musical instrument is $50 \,cm$ long and its fundamental frequency is $800 \,Hz$. Keeping the tension applied to the string same, the change in the length to produce a sound note of fundamental frequency $1000 \,Hz$ will be: (in $\,cm$)

$A$ steel wire of length $1.25 \ m$ is stretched between two rigid supports. The tension in the wire produces an elastic strain of $0.14 \%$. The fundamental frequency of the wire is (Density and Young's modulus of steel are $7.7 \times 10^3 \ kg \ m^{-3}$ and $2.2 \times 10^{11} \ N \ m^{-2}$ respectively). (in $Hz$)

$A$ sonometer wire is in unison with a tuning fork when it is stretched by weight $w$ and the corresponding resonating length is $L_1$. If the weight is reduced to $\frac{w}{4}$,the corresponding resonating length becomes $L_2$. The ratio $\frac{L_1}{L_2}$ is:

Two strings $A$ and $B$ of lengths $L_A = 80 \text{ cm}$ and $L_B = x \text{ cm}$ respectively are used separately in a sonometer. The ratio of their densities $(d_A / d_B)$ is $0.81$. The diameter of $B$ is one-half that of $A$. If the strings have the same tension and fundamental frequency,the value of $x$ is:
