When a vibrating tuning fork is placed on a sound box of a sonometer, $8$ beats per second are heard when the length of the sonometer wire is kept at $101 \,cm$ or $100 \,cm$. Then the frequency of the tuning fork is (Consider that the tension in the wire is kept constant). (in $\,Hz$)

$A$ string is divided into three segments such that the segments possess fundamental frequencies in the ratio $1: 2: 3$. Then,the lengths of the segments are in the ratio:

$A$ thin wire of length $99 \ cm$ is fixed at both ends as shown in the figure. The wire is kept under a tension and is divided into three segments of lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ as shown in the figure. When the wire is made to vibrate, the segments vibrate respectively with their fundamental frequencies in the ratio $1: 2: 3$. Then, the lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ of the segments respectively are (in $cm$):

$A$ wire of length $0.4 \,m$ stretched at both ends vibrates $250$ times per second. If the length of the wire is increased by $0.1 \,m$ and the stretching force is reduced to $1/4$ of its original value, then the new frequency is (in $\,Hz$)
