$A$ steel wire of length $1 \,m$, mass $0.1 \,kg$, and uniform area of cross-section $10^{-6} \,m^2$ is rigidly fixed at both ends without any tension. Its temperature is lowered by $20^{\circ} C$ and transverse waves are set up by plucking the wire at the middle. The frequency of the fundamental mode is ($Y = 200 \,GPa$, $\alpha = 1.21 \times 10^{-5} {}^{\circ} C^{-1}$). (in $\,Hz$)
