Transverse waves are generated in two steel wires A and B by attaching their free ends to a vibrating source of frequency 500 Hz. The diameter of A is half that of B and tension on B is double that on A. What is the ratio of the velocities of waves in wires A and B?

Two strings A and B, made of the same material, have equal lengths. The cross sectional area of A is half that of B while the tension on A is twice that on B. The ratio of the velocities of transverse waves in A and B is

Two unifrom strectched strings A and B, made of steel, are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of A is equal to the second overtone of B and if the radius of A is twice that of B, the ratio of the lengths of the strings is

Force constants of two wires A and B of the same material are k and 2k respectively. If the two wires are stretched equally, then the ratio of workdone in stretching (W_A//W_B) is
