$A$ wire of density $8 \times 10^3\,kg/m^3$ is stretched between two clamps $0.5\,m$ apart. The extension developed in the wire is $3.2 \times 10^{-4}\,m$. If Young's modulus $Y = 8 \times 10^{10}\,N/m^2$,the fundamental frequency of vibration in the wire will be $......\,Hz$.

$A$ wire under tension vibrates with a fundamental frequency of $600 \,Hz$. If the length of the wire is doubled, the radius is halved and the wire is made to vibrate under one-ninth the tension. Then the fundamental frequency will become (in $\,Hz$)

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire is $50 \text{ Hz}$ for a given length and tension. If the length is increased by $25 \%$ while keeping the tension constant,what is the percentage change in the frequency of the second harmonic?

$A$ metallic wire with tension $T$ and at temperature $30^{\circ} C$ vibrates with its fundamental frequency of $1 \ kHz$. The same wire with the same tension but at $10^{\circ} C$ temperature vibrates with a fundamental frequency of $1.001 \ kHz$. The coefficient of linear expansion of the wire is
