**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding Vibrations**: First, we need to understand what vibrations are. Vibrations can be classified into two types: natural vibrations and damped vibrations. Natural vibrations occur when an object oscillates freely without any external interference, while damped vibrations occur when the amplitude of the oscillation decreases over time due to resistive forces. 2. **Analyzing the Tuning Fork**: A tuning fork produces sound by vibrating. When it is struck, it starts to vibrate and produce sound waves in the air. However, during this process, it encounters air resistance and other resistive forces. 3. **Identifying Resistive Forces**: The air around the tuning fork exerts a drag force on the vibrating prongs of the fork. This drag force opposes the motion of the tuning fork, causing it to lose energy over time. ...

What are damped vibrations ?

State the laws of vibrating strings.

A sonometer wire under tension of 63 N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of that sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm and a mass of 1 g. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed with which the tuning fork is moved if the speed of sound in air is 300 m/s.

A sonometer wire under tension of 64 N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of the sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm and mass of 1 g. The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed with which the tuning fork is moved, if the speed of sound in air is 300 m/s.

A tuning fork is vibrate with constant frequency and amplitude. If the air is heated without changing pressure the following quantities will increase.

A tuning fork is vibrating at frequency 100 Hz . When another tuning fork is sounded simutaneously.=, 4 beats per second are heard. When some mass is added to the tuning fork of 100 Hz , beat frequency decreases. Find the frequency of the other tuning fork.

A tuning fork vibrating with sonometer, having tension in the wire as T , Produces 4 beats per sec. The beat frequency does not change when tension in the wire changes to 1.21 T . Find the frequency of the tuning fork (assuming that the sonometer wire is vibrating in the same mode in both cases )

A U-tube open from both ends, contain two arms, arm-1 and arm-2 each of having equal cross-section and height of each arm is 1m. Water of density rho_(w) and an unknown liquid of density rho is fliied as shown A tuning fork of frequency 300 Hz is vibrated on arm-1, then air column vibrated is fundamental tone. If the same tuning fork is vibrated on arm-2, then air column vibrates in 1st overtone V_("sound") = 300 m//sec , g = 10//sec^(2) , density of water rho_(w) = 10^(3)kg//m^(2) , atmospheric pressure = 10^(2) Pa) Nelect the effect of surface tension and end correction : Npw we use a tuning fork of frequency 302 Hz, instead of 300 Hz, with how much velocity should we move the tuning fork, so that resonance is created with the air column in any arm ?
