Two uniform strings $A$ and $B$ made of steel are made to vibrate 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 :

  • A
    $1: 2$
  • B
    $1: 3$
  • C
    $1: 4$
  • D
    $1: 5$

$A$ string is stretched between two fixed points separated by $75\,cm$. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of $420\,Hz$ and $315\,Hz$. There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. Then,the lowest resonant frequency for this string is ..... $Hz$.

$A$ body is suspended from a string of length $1 \ m$ and mass $2 \ g$. The mass of the body required to produce a fundamental mode of $100 \ Hz$ frequency in the string is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \ m \ s^{-2}$)

Two wires made up of the same material are of equal lengths but their radii are in the ratio $1 : 2$. On stretching each of these two strings by the same tension,the ratio between the fundamental frequencies is

Two wires $W_1$ and $W_2$ have the same radius $r$ and respective densities $\rho_1$ and $\rho_2$ such that $\rho_2 = 4\rho_1$. They are joined together at the point $O$,as shown in the figure. The combination is used as a sonometer wire and kept under tension $T$. The point $O$ is midway between the two bridges. When a stationary wave is set up in the composite wire,the joint is found to be a node. The ratio of the number of antinodes formed in $W_1$ to $W_2$ is
