Tag: vibrations of stretched strings

The velocity of a transverse wave in a stretched wire is $100ms^{-1}$. If the length of wire is doubled and tension in the string is also doubled, the final velocity of  the transverse wave in the wire is

If the vibrations of a string are to be increased by a factor of two, then tension in the string should be made

A sonometer wire, with a suspended mass of $M=1 kg$, is in resonance with a given tuning fork. The apparatus is taken to the moon where the acceleration due to gravity is $\dfrac 16$ that on earth. To obtain resonance on the moon, the value of $M$ should be

In an experiment, the string vibrates in $4$ loops when $50 \ gm-wt$ is placed in pan of weight $15 \ gm$. To make the string vibrate in $6$ loops the weight that has to be removed from the pan is approximately :

A uniform wire of length 20 m and weighing 5 kg hangs vertically. If g = 10 m $s^{-2}$, then the speed of transverse waves in the middle of the wire is:

If the tension in a sonometer wire is increased by a factor of four. The fundamental frequency of vibration changes by a factor of :

The length of a sonometer wire $AB$ is $110 \ cm$. The distance at which two bridges should be placed from $A$ to divide the wire into $3$ segments whose fundamental  frequencies are in the ratio of $1:2:3$ ?

If n$ _{1},n _{2},n _{3}$ are the three  fundamental frequencies of three segments into which a string is divided, then the original fundamental frequency '$n$' of the string is given by 

To increase the frequency by $20\%$, the tension in the string vibrating on a Sonometer has to be increased by

An iron load of $2 kg$ is suspended in air from the free end of a sonometer wire of length one meter. A tuning fork of frequency $256 Hz$ is in resonance with $1/\sqrt{7}$ times the length of the sonometer wire. If the load is immersed in water, the length of the wire in meter that will be in resonance with the same tuning fork is :
