Before playing the orchestra in a musical concert, a sitarist tries to adjust the tension and pluck the string suitably. By doing so, he is adjusting :

A

intensity of sound only

B

amplitude of sound only

C

frequency of the sitar with the frequency of other musical instruments

D

loudness of sounds

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:

A certain string on a piano is tuned to produce musical note of frequency f =261.63 Hz by carefully adjusting the tension in the string. For a fixed wavelength, what is the frequency when this tension is doubled?

Two cubes of masses m_(1) and m_(2) lie on two frictionless slopes of the block A which rests on horizontal table. The cubes are connected by a string, which passes over a pulley as shown in the figure-2.67. To what horizontal acceleration "f" the block accelerates so that the cubes do not slide down the planes ? What is the tension in the string in this situation ? [f=g((m_(1)sinalpha+m_(2)sinbeta)/(m_(1)cosalpha+m_(2)cosbeta)),T = (m_(1)m_(2)gsin(alpha-beta))/(m_(1)cosalpha+m_(2)cosbeta)]

A sonometer strings AB of length 1m is stretched by a load and the tension T is adjusted so that the string resonates to a frequency of 1 kHz . Any point P of the wire may be held fixed by use of a movable bridge that can slide along the base of sonometer.

A boy and a block, both of same mass, are suspended at the same horizontal level, from each end of a light string that moves over a frictionless pulley as shown. The boy start moving upward with an acceleration 2.5m//s^(2) relative the rope. If the block is to travel a total distance 10m before reaching at the pulley, the time taken by the block in doing so is equal to:
