$A$ sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges when a mass of $9 \,kg$ is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by a mass $M$, the wire resonates with the same tuning fork forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of $M$ is

  • A
    $5 \,kg$
  • B
    $12.5 \,kg$
  • C
    $\frac{1}{25} \,kg$
  • D
    $25 \,kg$

Two uniform strings $A$ and $B$ made of steel are made to vibrate under the same tension. If the first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$ and if the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$,the ratio of the length of string $B$ to that of $A$ is

$A$ sonometer wire $49 \ cm$ long is in unison with a tuning fork of frequency '$n$'. If the length of the wire is decreased by $1 \ cm$ and it is vibrated with the same tuning fork,$6$ beats are heard per second. The value of '$n$' is (in $Hz$)

In an experiment with a sonometer,a tuning fork of frequency $256 \ Hz$ resonates with a length of $25 \ cm$ and another tuning fork resonates with a length of $16 \ cm$. If the tension of the string remains constant,the frequency of the second tuning fork is .... $Hz$

$A$ second harmonic has to be generated in a string of length $l$ stretched between two rigid supports. The points where the string has to be plucked and touched are

$A$ thin wire of length $99 \ cm$ is fixed at both ends as shown in the figure. The wire is kept under a tension and is divided into three segments of lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ as shown in the figure. When the wire is made to vibrate, the segments vibrate respectively with their fundamental frequencies in the ratio $1: 2: 3$. Then, the lengths $l_1, l_2$ and $l_3$ of the segments respectively are (in $cm$):
