Each on the two strings of length 51.6 cm and 49.1 cm are tensioned separately by 20 N force. Mass per unit length of both the strings is same and equal to 1 gm-1. When both strings vibrate simultaneously the number of beats is

  • 5

  • 7

  • 8

  • 3

Solution

B.

7

The number of beats will be the difference of frequencies of the two strings.frequency space of space first space string space straight f subscript 1 space equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 straight l subscript 1 end fraction square root of straight T over straight m end root
equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 space straight x 51.6 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 2 end exponent end fraction square root of 20 over 10 to the power of negative 3 end exponent end root
similarly comma space frequency space of space second space string
equals space fraction numerator 1 over denominator 2 space straight x space 49.1 space straight x space 10 to the power of negative 2 end exponent end fraction square root of 20 over 10 to the power of negative 3 end exponent end root

Number space of space beats space equals space straight f subscript 2 minus straight f subscript 1 space equals space 144 minus 137
equals space 7 space beats
