The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the fundamental frequencies of two strings, A and B, given their physical parameters. Let's denote the fundamental frequency of string A as \( v_A \) and that of string B as \( v_B \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the parameters for both strings:** - For string A: - Length: \( L \) - Radius: \( r \) - Density: \( \rho \) - Tension: \( T \) - For string B (all parameters are doubled): - Length: \( L_B = 2L \) - Radius: \( r_B = 2r \) - Density: \( \rho_B = 2\rho \) - Tension: \( T_B = 2T \) 2. **Write the formula for the fundamental frequency of a vibrating string:** The fundamental frequency \( v \) of a string is given by: \[ v = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where \( \mu \) (linear mass density) is given by \( \mu = \rho \cdot A \) and \( A \) is the cross-sectional area. For a circular cross-section: \[ A = \pi r^2 \] Therefore, \[ \mu = \rho \cdot \pi r^2 \] 3. **Substitute \( \mu \) into the frequency formula:** For string A: \[ v_A = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot \pi r^2}} \] For string B: \[ v_B = \frac{1}{2L_B} \sqrt{\frac{T_B}{\rho_B \cdot \pi r_B^2}} \] 4. **Substituting the parameters for string B:** \[ v_B = \frac{1}{2(2L)} \sqrt{\frac{2T}{2\rho \cdot \pi (2r)^2}} \] Simplifying this: \[ v_B = \frac{1}{4L} \sqrt{\frac{2T}{2\rho \cdot \pi \cdot 4r^2}} = \frac{1}{4L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot \pi r^2}} \] 5. **Relate \( v_A \) and \( v_B \):** Now we can express \( v_A \) and \( v_B \) in terms of each other: \[ v_A = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot \pi r^2}} \] \[ v_B = \frac{1}{4L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot \pi r^2}} \] 6. **Finding the ratio \( \frac{v_A}{v_B} \):** \[ \frac{v_A}{v_B} = \frac{\frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot \pi r^2}}}{\frac{1}{4L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot \pi r^2}}} \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{v_A}{v_B} = \frac{4L}{2L} = 4 \] Thus, we have: \[ v_A = 4v_B \] ### Conclusion: The relationship between the fundamental frequencies of strings A and B is: \[ v_A = 4v_B \]

To solve the problem, we need to find the relationship between the fundamental frequencies of two strings, A and B, given their physical parameters. Let's denote the fundamental frequency of string A as \( v_A \) and that of string B as \( v_B \). ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the parameters for both strings:** - For string A: - Length: \( L \) - Radius: \( r \) ...
