 A cord attached to a vibrating tuning fork is divided into six segments under tension of 36 N. It will be divided into four segments, if the tension is

  • 48N

  • 81N

  • 24N

  • 16N

Solution

B.

81N

String is vibrating in fundamental mode,it's frequency

'n' is given by ,

12lTmTherefore the frequency of the fork n will beN= 2n=12lTmIf number of loops formed is P thenN=PlTmby squaring on both sideN2=p2l2×Tm p2T =N2l2mn, l and m are constant
