The correct Answer is:
To find the ratio of the fundamental frequency of string B to the fundamental frequency of string A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the formula for fundamental frequency The fundamental frequency \( f \) of a string is given by the formula: \[ f = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where \( L \) is the length of the string, \( T \) is the tension in the string, and \( \mu \) is the mass per unit length. ### Step 2: Express mass per unit length The mass per unit length \( \mu \) can be expressed as: \[ \mu = \frac{m}{L} \] where \( m \) is the mass of the string. The mass can also be expressed in terms of density \( \rho \) and volume \( V \): \[ m = \rho \cdot V \] For a cylindrical string, the volume \( V \) is given by the cross-sectional area \( A \) multiplied by the length \( L \): \[ V = A \cdot L = \pi r^2 \cdot L \] Thus, we can write: \[ m = \rho \cdot (\pi r^2 \cdot L) \] Substituting this into the equation for \( \mu \): \[ \mu = \frac{\rho \cdot (\pi r^2 \cdot L)}{L} = \rho \cdot \pi r^2 \] ### Step 3: Substitute \( \mu \) into the frequency formula Now substituting \( \mu \) back into the frequency formula: \[ f = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot \pi r^2}} \] This can be simplified to: \[ f \propto \frac{1}{L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\rho \cdot r^2}} \] ### Step 4: Write the frequencies for strings A and B Let’s denote the parameters for string A as \( L_A, T_A, \rho_A, r_A \) and for string B as \( L_B, T_B, \rho_B, r_B \). From the problem, we know: - \( L_A = 2L_B \) - \( T_A = 2T_B \) - \( \rho_A = 2\rho_B \) - \( r_A = 2r_B \) Now, we can express the frequencies: \[ f_A \propto \frac{1}{L_A} \sqrt{\frac{T_A}{\rho_A \cdot r_A^2}} \] \[ f_B \propto \frac{1}{L_B} \sqrt{\frac{T_B}{\rho_B \cdot r_B^2}} \] ### Step 5: Calculate the ratio of frequencies Now we can find the ratio \( \frac{f_B}{f_A} \): \[ \frac{f_B}{f_A} = \frac{\frac{1}{L_B} \sqrt{\frac{T_B}{\rho_B \cdot r_B^2}}}{\frac{1}{L_A} \sqrt{\frac{T_A}{\rho_A \cdot r_A^2}}} \] Substituting the values: \[ = \frac{L_A}{L_B} \cdot \sqrt{\frac{T_B \cdot \rho_A \cdot r_A^2}{T_A \cdot \rho_B \cdot r_B^2}} \] ### Step 6: Substitute the known ratios Substituting the known ratios: - \( L_A = 2L_B \) gives \( \frac{L_A}{L_B} = 2 \) - \( T_A = 2T_B \) gives \( \frac{T_B}{T_A} = \frac{1}{2} \) - \( \rho_A = 2\rho_B \) gives \( \frac{\rho_A}{\rho_B} = 2 \) - \( r_A = 2r_B \) gives \( \frac{r_A^2}{r_B^2} = 4 \) Putting it all together: \[ \frac{f_B}{f_A} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{\frac{1/2 \cdot 2 \cdot 4}{1}} = 2 \cdot \sqrt{4} = 2 \cdot 2 = 4 \] ### Final Result Thus, the ratio of the fundamental frequency of string B to that of string A is: \[ \frac{f_B}{f_A} = 4 \]

To find the ratio of the fundamental frequency of string B to the fundamental frequency of string A, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Write the formula for fundamental frequency The fundamental frequency \( f \) of a string is given by the formula: \[ f = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where \( L \) is the length of the string, \( T \) is the tension in the string, and \( \mu \) is the mass per unit length. ...
