An auditorium has a volume of $10^5 \ m^3$ and a surface area of absorption of $2 \times 10^4 \ m^2$. Its average absorption coefficient is $0.2$. The reverberation time of the auditorium in seconds is:

The frequency of a stretched uniform wire of length $L$ under tension is in resonance with the fundamental frequency of a closed pipe of same length. If the tension in the wire is increased by $8 \ N$,it is in resonance with the first overtone of the same closed pipe. The initial tension in the wire is (in $N$)
