In an experiment with a sonometer,when a mass of $180\,g$ is attached to the string,it vibrates with a fundamental frequency of $30\,Hz$. When a mass $m$ is attached,the string vibrates with a fundamental frequency of $50\,Hz$. The value of $m$ is $.........\,g$.

Two vibrating strings of the same material but lengths $L$ and $2L$ have radii $2r$ and $r$ respectively. They are stretched under the same tension. Both the strings vibrate in their fundamental modes,the one of length $L$ with frequency $f_1$ and the other with frequency $f_2$. The ratio $\frac{f_1}{f_2}$ is given by

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 $\,Hz$)

$A$ uniform string is vibrating with a fundamental frequency '$n$'. If the radius and length of the string are both doubled while keeping the tension constant,then the new frequency of vibration is:

Two identical strings $X$ and $Z$ made of the same material have tensions $T_{x}$ and $T_{z}$ in them. If their fundamental frequencies are $450\, Hz$ and $300\, Hz$,respectively,then the ratio $T_{x} / T_{z}$ is:
