  • A
    $1.11$
  • B
    $2.15$

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

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:

If the length of a stretched string is shortened by $40\%$ and the tension is increased by $44\%$,then the ratio of the final and initial fundamental frequencies is
