$A$ sonometer wire,with a suspended mass of $M = 1 \, kg$,is in resonance with a given tuning fork. The apparatus is taken to the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is $(1/6)$ that on earth. To obtain resonance on the moon,the value of $M$ should be ......... $kg$.

  • A
    $1$
  • B
    $\sqrt{6}$
  • C
    $6$
  • D
    $36$

If the frequency of vibrations of a string is to be increased by a factor of two,then the tension in the string must be made:

$A$ wire stretched between two rigid supports vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of $45 \;Hz$. The mass of the wire is $3.5 \times 10^{-2} \;kg$ and its linear mass density is $4.0 \times 10^{-2} \;kg \;m^{-1}$. What is
$(a)$ the speed of a transverse wave on the string,and
$(b)$ the tension in the string?

$A$ sonometer wire stretched by weight '$w$' is in unison with a tuning fork. The corresponding resonating length is '$L_1$'. If the weight is increased by '$3w$',the corresponding resonating length of the sonometer in unison with the tuning fork becomes '$L_2$'. The ratio $\left(\frac{L_1}{L_2}\right)$ is:

The length of the string of a musical instrument is $90 \;cm$ and has a fundamental frequency of $120 \;Hz$. Where (in $cm$) should it be pressed to produce a fundamental frequency of $180 \;Hz$?
