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

The frequency of vibration (v) of a string may depend upon length (I) of the string, tension (T) in the string and mass per unit length (m) of the string. Using the method of dimensions, derive the formula for v.

In melde's experiment, the number of loops on the string changes from 5 to 4 , when the tension ine the string is increased by 0.018gm wt , then the initial tension in the string will be

A tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz gives 5 beats // s with a vibrating string of a piano. The beat frequency decreases to 2, when tension in the string is slightly increased. What was the frequency of the piano string before increasing the tension ?

The frequency of fundamental mode of vibration of a stretched string fixed at both the ends is 25 Hz. If the string is made to vibrate with 7 nodes , what is the frequency of vibration ? If the length of string is 3 m , what is the frequency of the 4th harmonic ?

A tuning fork of frequency 512 Hz produces 6 beats per sec. with vibrating string of an instrument. On increasing the tension in the string, the beat frequency reduces to 3 beats/sec. Find the original frequency of the instrument.
