How the frequency of vibrating wire is affected when the load attached in immersed in water?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
On immersing load in water, the apparent weight of the load and hence the tension in the sting decreases. Since `v prop sqrt(T)`, the frequency of the vibrating wire decreases.

How does the frequency of a vibrating wire change when the attached load is immersed in water.

A string fixed at both ends, is vibrating in a particular mode of vibration. Vibration is such that a point on string is at maximum displacement and it is at a distance of one fourth of length of string from one end. The frequency of vibration in thus mode is 200 Hz . What will be the frequency of vibration when it vibrates in next mode such that the same point is at maximum displacement?

An object of specific gravity rho is hung from a thin steel wire. The fundamental frequency for transverse standing waves in wire is 300 Hz . The object is immersed in water so that one half of its volume is submerged. The new fundamental frequency in Hz is

The length of the wire shown in figure between the pulleys is 1.5 m and its mass is 15 g. what is the frequency of vibration with which the wire vibrates in four loops leaving the middle point of the wire between the pullys at rest ? (g=10 ms^(2))

In the sonometer experiment , a tuning fork of frequency 256 Hz is in resonance with 0.4 m length of the wire when the iron load attached to free end of wire is 2 kg . If the load is immersed in water , the length of the wire in resonance would be ( specific gravity of iron = 8 )

When frequency of a vibrating object increases, its time period decreases.
