$A$ 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 $\,Hz$)

$A$ sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork,forming a standing wave with $5$ antinodes between two bridges when a mass of $9 \ kg$ is suspended from the wire. When a mass '$m$' is suspended from the wire,with the same tuning fork and the same length between the two bridges,$3$ antinodes are formed. The value of mass '$m$' is: (in $kg$)

The speed of a transverse wave on a string is $160 \,m/s$. If the three resonant frequencies of this string are $160 \,Hz$, $240 \,Hz$, and $400 \,Hz$ respectively, the length of the string is: (in $\,cm$)

$A$ sonometer wire is vibrating in resonance with a tuning fork. Keeping the tension applied same,the length of the wire is doubled. Under what conditions would the tuning fork still be in resonance with the wire?

$A$ violin emits sound waves of frequency $n_1$ under tension $T$. When tension is increased by $44\%$,keeping the length and mass per unit length constant,the frequency of sound waves becomes $n_2$. The ratio of frequency $n_2$ to frequency $n_1$ is:
