The correct graph between the frequency $n$ and the square root of density $(\rho)$ of a wire,keeping its length,radius,and tension constant,is:

The equation of vibration of a stretched string fixed at both ends and vibrating in $5^{\text{th}}$ harmonic is $Y = 3 \sin(0.4x) \cos(200\pi t)$, where '$x$' and '$Y$' are in $cm$ and '$t$' is in seconds. The length of the string is: (in $\pi \text{ cm}$)

$A$ tuning fork produces $4$ beats per second when sounded with a sonometer wire of vibrating length $48 \ cm$. It also produces $4$ beats per second when the vibrating length is $50 \ cm$,keeping the tension in the wire the same. What is the frequency of the tuning fork in $Hz$?

Show that when a string fixed at its two ends vibrates in $1$ loop,$2$ loops,$3$ loops and $4$ loops,the frequencies are in the ratio $1 : 2 : 3 : 4$.

Two uniform stretched strings $A$ and $B$,made of steel,are vibrating 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 lengths of the strings is
