In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string, the length is reduced to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed is

  • A
    $\frac{3}{8}$
  • B
    $\frac{2}{3}$
  • C
    $\frac{8}{9}$
  • D
    $\frac{9}{4}$

When tension $T$ is applied to a sonometer wire of length $l$, it vibrates with the fundamental frequency $n$. Keeping the setup same, when the tension is increased by $8 \,N$, the fundamental frequency becomes three times the earlier. The initial tension applied to the wire was: (in $\,N$)

The frequency of a sonometer wire is $100 \ Hz$. When the weights producing the tension are completely immersed in water,the frequency becomes $80 \ Hz$,and on immersing the weights in a certain liquid,the frequency becomes $60 \ Hz$. The specific gravity of the liquid is:
