The linear mass density of the string shown in the figure is mu = 1 g//m . One end (A) of the string is tied to a prong of a tuning fork and the other end carries a block of mass M. The length of the string between the tuning fork and the pulley is L = 2.0 m . When the tuning fork vibrates, the string resonates with it when mass M is either 16 kg or 25 kg. However, standing waves are not observed for any other value of M lying between 16 kg and 25 kg. Assume that end A of the string is practically at rest and calculate the frequency of the fork.

The mass suspended from the stretched string of a sonometer is 4 kg and the linear mass density of string 4 xx 10^(-3) kg m^(-1) . If the length of the vibrating string is 100 cm , arrange the following steps in a sequential order to find the frequency of the tuning fork used for the experiment . (A) The fundamental frequency of the vibratinng string is , n = (1)/(2l) sqrt((T)/(m)) . (B) Get the value of length of the string (l) , and linear mass density (m) of the string from the data in the problem . (C) Calculate the tension in the string using , T = mg . (D) Substitute the appropriate values in n = (1)/(2l) sqrt((T)/(m)) and find the value of 'n' .

Transverse waves pass through the strings A and B attached to an object of mass m as shown. If mu is the linear density of each of the strings the velocity of the transverse waves produced in the strings A and B is

Four pieces of string of length L are joined end to end to make a long string of length 4L. The linear mass density of the strings are mu,4mu,9mu and 16mu , respectively. One end of the combined string is tied to a fixed support and a transverse wave has been generated at the other end having frequency f (ignore any reflection and absorption). string has been stretched under a tension F . Find the time taken by wave to reach from source end to fixed end.

A long string is constructed by joining the ends of two shorter strings. The tension in the strings is the same but string I has 4 times the linear mass density of string II. When a sinusoidal wave passes from string I to string II:

In (Q. 24.) the tension in string is T and the linear mass density of string is mu . The ratio of magnitude of maximum velocity of particle and the magnitude of maximum acceleration is
