The length of the wire shown in the figure between the pulleys is $1.5 \, m$ and its mass is $12.0 \, g$. The frequency of vibration with which the wire vibrates in three loops,forming an antinode at the midpoint of the wire,is: (Given $g = 9.8 \, m/s^2$)

The length of a sonometer wire is $0.75\, m$ and density is $9 \times 10^3\, kg/m^3$. It can bear a stress of $8.1 \times 10^8\, N/m^2$ without exceeding the elastic limit. What is the fundamental frequency that can be produced in the wire in $Hz$?

Two uniform wires of same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the $1^{\text{st}}$ overtone of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is equal to the $2^{\text{nd}}$ overtone of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire and the radius of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire is twice the radius of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire,find the ratio of the length of the $1^{\text{st}}$ wire to that of the $2^{\text{nd}}$ wire.

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 .... $N$.

If the tension of a sonometer wire increases four times,then the fundamental frequency of the wire will increase by how many times?
