Consider the situation shown in figure. The wire which has a mass of 4.00 g oscillates in its second harmonic and sets the air column in the tube into vibrations in its fundamental mode. Assuming that the speed of sound in air is `40 m s^-1`, find the tension in the wire. . |

Answer» Correct Answer - A Let `n_0=`frequency of the tuning fork, `T=`Tension of the string `L=40cm=0.4m, m=4g` `=4xx10^-3kg` `So, m=Mass/(Unit Length)=10^-2kg/m` `n_0=1/(2L) sqrt(T/m)` So, `2nd Harmonic 2n_0=(2/(2L))sqrt(T/m)` As it is tension with fundamental frequency of vibration in the air column. `rarr 2n_0=340/4xx1=85Hz` `rarr 85=2/(2xx0.4)sqrt(T/14)` `=T=(85)^2xx(0.4)^2` `=11.6Newton` |
