Obtain the equation of frequency of oscillations in a string tied at both ends.

The transverse displacement of a string (clamped at its both ends) is given by $y(x,t) = 0.6 \sin \left( \frac{2\pi}{3}x \right) \cos (120\pi t)$,where $x$ and $y$ are in $m$ and $t$ is in $s$. The length of the string is $1.5 \, m$ and its mass is $3.0 \times 10^{-2} \, kg$. The tension in the string will be .... $N$.

Two strings $A$ and $B$ of lengths $L_A = 80 \text{ cm}$ and $L_B = x \text{ cm}$ respectively are used separately in a sonometer. The ratio of their densities $(d_A / d_B)$ is $0.81$. The diameter of $B$ is one-half that of $A$. If the strings have the same tension and fundamental frequency, the value of $x$ is:

Two wires $A$ and $B$ of lengths in the ratio $1: 2$ and masses in the ratio $2: 1$ are stretched by the same tension. The ratio of the fundamental frequencies of wires $A$ and $B$ is

Two uniform stretched steel strings $A$ and $B$ are vibrating under the same tension. The first overtone of $A$ is equal to the second overtone of $B$. If the radius of $A$ is twice that of $B$,then the ratio of the lengths of the strings $l_A/l_B$ is:
