If an addition of 75 kg wt to the vibrating string rises the pitch is an octave of the original pitch, then the tension in the string is

A

50 kg wt

B

100 gk wt

C

75 kg wt

D

25 kg wt

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

`n_2/n_1 therefore (2n)/(n) = sqrt((T_1 +75)/(T_1))`
`therefore 3T_1 = 75 therefore T_1 = 25` kg wt
