To find the specific gravity of glass using the information from Melde's experiment, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between frequency, tension, and number of loops In Melde's experiment, the frequency of vibration of the string is related to the tension in the string and the number of loops formed. The fundamental frequency \( f \) can be expressed as: \[ f = \frac{p}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{F}{\mu}} \] where: ...
