A metal wire of diameter ` 1 mm` is held on two knife by a distance ` 50 cm` . The tension in the wire is `100 N`. The wire vibrating with its fundamental frequency and `a` vibrationg tuning fork together produce ` 5 beats//s`. The tension in the wire is then reduced to `81 N`. When the two excited , beats are heard at the same rate .
Calculate
i. the frequency of the fork and
ii. the density of material of wire
