$A$ hollow pipe of length $0.8 \ m$ is closed at one end. At its open end,a $0.8 \ m$ long uniform string is vibrating in its second harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the string is $50 \ N$ and the speed of sound in air is $320 \ m/s$,the mass of the string is: (in $g$)

In a large room,a person receives direct sound waves from a source $120 \ m$ away from him. He also receives waves from the same source which reach him after being reflected from the $25 \ m$ high ceiling at a point halfway between them. The two waves interfere constructively for wavelengths of
