Two uniform stretched strings $A$ and $B$,made of steel,are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$ and if the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$,the ratio of the lengths of the strings is

  • A
    $1:3$
  • B
    $1:2$
  • C
    $2:3$
  • D
    $3:4$

When a string of length $l$ is divided into three segments of length $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$,the fundamental frequencies of the three segments are $n_1, n_2$ and $n_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency $n$ of the string is:

$A$ body is suspended from a string of length $1 \ m$ and mass $2 \ g$. The mass of the body required to produce a fundamental mode of $100 \ Hz$ frequency in the string is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

Calculate the frequency of the second harmonic formed on a string of length $0.5 \ m$ and mass $2 \times 10^{-4} \ kg$ when stretched with a tension of $20 \ N$.

Two strings $A$ and $B$ of lengths $L_A = 80 \text{ cm}$ and $L_B = x \text{ cm}$ respectively are used separately in a sonometer. The ratio of their densities $(d_A / d_B)$ is $0.81$. The diameter of $B$ is one-half that of $A$. If the strings have the same tension and fundamental frequency, the value of $x$ is:

$A$ sonometer wire is vibrating in the third overtone. There are:
