Question 166: Waves

Question

A wire of length L and mass per unit length
6.0 × 10–3 kgm–1 is put under tension of
540 N. Two consecutive frequencies that it
resonates at are : 420 Hz and 490 Hz. Then L
in meters is :

Accepted Answer

Fundamental frequency = 70 Hz.
70 = $${1 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{T \over \mu }} $$
$$ \Rightarrow $$ $$l$$ = 2.14 m

Answer

5.1 m

Answer

2.1 m

Answer

1.1 m

Answer

8.1 m
