$A$ massless rod is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ of equal length. $A$ block of mass $m$ is suspended from point $O$ such that $BO$ is equal to $x$. Further,it is observed that the frequency of the $1^{st}$ harmonic (fundamental frequency) in $AB$ is equal to the $2^{nd}$ harmonic frequency in $CD$. Then,the length of $BO$ is:

  • A
    $\frac{L}{5}$
  • B
    $\frac{L}{4}$
  • C
    $\frac{4L}{5}$
  • D
    $\frac{3L}{4}$

$A$ composite string is made up by joining two strings of different masses per unit length $\mu$ and $4\mu$. The composite string is under the same tension. $A$ transverse wave pulse $Y = (6 \text{ mm}) \sin(5t + 40x)$,where $t$ is in seconds and $x$ in meters,is sent along the lighter string towards the joint. The percentage of power transmitted to the heavier string through the joint is approximately ..... $\%$

An air column in a tube $32 \,cm$ long, closed at one end, is in resonance with a tuning fork. The air column in another tube, open at both ends, of length $66 \,cm$ is in resonance with another tuning fork. When these two tuning forks are sounded together, they produce $8$ beats per second. Then the frequencies of the two tuning forks are (Consider fundamental frequencies only):

$A$ wire of linear mass density $\mu = 9.8 \times 10^{-3} \, kg \, m^{-1}$ passes over a frictionless light pulley fixed on the top of a frictionless inclined plane which makes an angle of $30^{\circ}$ with the horizontal. Masses $m$ and $M$ are tied at the two ends of the wire such that $m$ rests on the plane and $M$ hangs freely vertically downwards. The entire system is in equilibrium and a transverse wave propagates along the wire with a velocity of $100 \, m \, s^{-1}$. Choose the correct option for $m$ in $kg$.
