$A$ transverse sinusoidal wave of amplitude $a,$ wavelength $\lambda,$ and frequency $n$ is travelling on a stretched string. The maximum speed of any point on the string is $v/10,$ where $v$ is the speed of propagation of the wave. If $a = 10^{-3} \ m$ and $v = 10 \ m/s,$ then $\lambda$ and $n$ are given by:

  • A
    $\lambda = 2\pi \times 10^{-2} \ m$
  • B
    $\lambda = 10^{-3} \ m$
  • C
    $n = \frac{10^3}{2\pi} \ Hz$
  • D
    Both $(A)$ and $(C)$

$A$ massless rod is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ of equal length. $A$ block of mass $m$ is suspended from point $O$ such that $BO$ is equal to $x$. Further,it is observed that the frequency of the $1^{st}$ harmonic (fundamental frequency) in $AB$ is equal to the $2^{nd}$ harmonic frequency in $CD$. Then,the length of $BO$ is:
