$A$ wire of length $1 \,m$ under a certain initial tension emits a sound of fundamental frequency $256 \,Hz$. When the tension is increased by $1 \,kg \,wt$,the frequency of the fundamental note increases to $320 \,Hz$. The initial tension is ........... $kg \,wt$.

Two uniform wires of the same material are vibrating under the same tension. If the first overtone of the first wire is equal to the second overtone of the second wire and the radius of the first wire is twice the radius of the second wire,then the ratio of the lengths of the first wire to the second wire is:

The fundamental frequency of a transverse wave of a stretched string subjected to a tension $T_1$ is $300 \ Hz$. If the length of the string is doubled and subjected to a tension of $T_2$, the fundamental frequency of the transverse wave in the string becomes $100 \ Hz$. Then $T_2: T_1=$ (Linear density of the string is constant)

$A$ string with a mass density of $4 \times 10^{-3} \, kg/m$ is under a tension of $360 \, N$ and is fixed at both ends. One of its resonance frequencies is $375 \, Hz$. The next higher resonance frequency is $450 \, Hz$. The mass of the string is:
