$A$ wire stretched between two rigid supports vibrates in its fundamental mode with a frequency of $45 \;Hz$. The mass of the wire is $3.5 \times 10^{-2} \;kg$ and its linear mass density is $4.0 \times 10^{-2} \;kg \;m^{-1}$. What is
$(a)$ the speed of a transverse wave on the string,and
$(b)$ the tension in the string?

$A$ wire of density $8 \times 10^3\,kg/m^3$ is stretched between two clamps $0.5\,m$ apart. The extension developed in the wire is $3.2 \times 10^{-4}\,m$. If Young's modulus $Y = 8 \times 10^{10}\,N/m^2$,the fundamental frequency of vibration in the wire will be $......\,Hz$.

The length of the string of a musical instrument is $90 \;cm$ and has a fundamental frequency of $120 \;Hz$. Where (in $cm$) should it be pressed to produce a fundamental frequency of $180 \;Hz$?

$A$ uniform wire of length $L$,diameter $D$,and density $\rho$ is stretched under a tension $T$. The correct relation between its fundamental frequency $f$,the length $L$,and the diameter $D$ is:
