The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its both ends) is given by $y(x,t) = 0.6 \sin \left( \frac{2\pi}{3}x \right) \cos (120\pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The length of the string is $1.5 \, m$ and its mass is $3.0 \times 10^{-2} \, kg$. The tension in the string will be .... $N$.

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:

The string of a violin has a frequency of $440 \,cps$. If the violin string is shortened by one fifth,its frequency will be changed to ........... $cps$.

The frequency of a sonometer wire is $100 \ Hz$. When the weights producing the tension are completely immersed in water,the frequency becomes $80 \ Hz$,and on immersing the weights in a certain liquid,the frequency becomes $60 \ Hz$. The specific gravity of the liquid is:
