In an experiment to study standing waves,you use a string whose mass per unit length is $\mu = (1.0 \pm 0.1) \times 10^{-4} \ kg/m$. You look at the fundamental mode,whose frequency $f$ is related to the length $L$ and tension $T$ of the string by the equation $L = \frac{1}{2f} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}$. You make a plot with $L$ on the $y$-axis and $\sqrt{T}$ on the $x$-axis,and find that the best-fitting line is $y = (8.0 \pm 0.3) \times 10^{-3}x + (0.2 \pm 0.04)$ in $SI$ units. What is the value of the frequency of the wave (including the error)? Express your result in $SI$ units $(Hz)$.

$A$ string in a musical instrument is $50 \,cm$ long and its fundamental frequency is $800 \,Hz$. Keeping the tension applied to the string same, the change in the length to produce a sound note of fundamental frequency $1000 \,Hz$ will be: (in $\,cm$)

$A$ uniform string resonates with a tuning fork at a maximum tension of $32 \,N$. If it is divided into two segments by placing a wedge at a distance one-fourth of the length from one end,then to resonate with the same frequency,the maximum value of tension for the string will be ........... $N$.

$A$ wire of length $L$, diameter $d$, and density of material $\rho$ is under tension $T$ and has a fundamental frequency of vibration $n_A$. Another wire of length $2L$, diameter $3d$, and density of material $2\rho$ is vibrated under tension $2T$, and its fundamental frequency of vibration becomes $n_B$. The ratio $n_B : n_A$ is
