Two uniform strings $A$ and $B$ made of steel are made to vibrate 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 length of string $B$ to that of $A$ is

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

$A$ steel rod $100 \ cm$ long is clamped at its mid-point. The fundamental frequency of longitudinal vibrations of the rod is given to be $2.53 \ kHz$. What is the speed of sound in steel in $km/s$ (in $.06$)?

$A$ 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 $cm$):
