In Melde's experiment, the tuning fork was arranged in parallel position and the vibrating length of string was 0.8m. Upon setting the tuning fork into vibration, four loops were formed along the string. If the linear density of the string is 0.5 mg/cm and the frequency of the tuning fork is 96Hz, then tension in the string will be

A tuning fork of frequency 100 when sounded together with another tuning fork of unknown frequency produces 2 beats per second. On loading the tuning fork whose frequency is not known and sounded together with a tuning fork of frequency 100 produces one beat, then the frequency of the other tuning fork is

In melde's experiment, the tuning fork was arranged in parallel position and the string was stretched by a weight of 4xx10^(-3) kg and mass per unit length of the string is 9.8xx10^(-5) kg//m . If 4 loops were formed on a length 80cm of the string, then the frequency of the fork will be
