The frequency of transverse vibrations in a stretched string is $200 \ Hz$. If the tension is increased four times and the length is reduced to one-fourth the original value,the frequency of vibration will be .... $Hz$.

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is $50 \text{ Hz}$ for a given length and tension. If the length is increased by $25\%$ while keeping the tension constant, what is the percentage change in the frequency of the second harmonic?

$A$ wire of density $9 \times 10^3 \text{ kg/m}^3$ is stretched between two clamps $1 \text{ m}$ apart and is subjected to an extension of $4.9 \times 10^{-4} \text{ m}$. The lowest frequency of transverse vibration in the wire is ..... $\text{Hz}$ $(Y = 9 \times 10^{10} \text{ N/m}^2)$.

Unlike a laboratory sonometer,a stringed instrument is seldom plucked in the middle. Supposing a sitar string is plucked at about $\frac{1}{4}$th of its length from the end. The most prominent harmonic would be

$A$ sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges when a mass of $9 \ kg$ is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by a mass $M$,the wire resonates with the same tuning fork forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of $M$ is ... $kg$.

$A$ steel wire of length $1 \,m$, mass $0.1 \,kg$, and uniform area of cross-section $10^{-6} \,m^2$ is rigidly fixed at both ends without any tension. Its temperature is lowered by $20^{\circ} C$ and transverse waves are set up by plucking the wire at the middle. The frequency of the fundamental mode is ($Y = 200 \,GPa$, $\alpha = 1.21 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)
