If the length of a stretched string is shortened by $x \%$ and the tension is increased by $44 \%$,then the ratio of the initial and final fundamental frequencies is $1:2$. The value of '$x$' is:

  • A
    $20$
  • B
    $30$
  • C
    $40$
  • D
    $60$

$A$ sonometer wire is vibrating in resonance with a tuning fork. Keeping the tension applied same,the length of the wire is doubled. Under what conditions would the tuning fork still be in resonance with the wire?

In order to double the frequency of the fundamental note emitted by a stretched string, the length is reduced to $\frac{3}{4}$ of the original length and the tension is changed. The factor by which the tension is to be changed is
