Physics Wave and Sound Beats MCQ (Single Correct)

A metal wire of diameter 1 mm, is held on two knife edges separated by a distance of 50 cm. The tension in the wire is 100 N. The wire vibrating in its fundamental frequency and a vibrating tuning fork together produces 5 beats per sec. The tension in the wire is then reduced to 81 N. When the two are excited, beats are again at the same rate. Calculate

A
The frequency of the fork
B
The density of the material of the wire.

The correct answer is:
CHECK THE SOLUTION

[ 95 Hz, kg/m 3 ]

– n = 5..........(1)

n – = 5 .........(2)

add equ (1) and (2)

= 10

= = = (µ = 0.01)

ρ πr 2 = 0.01

ρ = = = × 10 3 kg/m 3

put µ = 0.01 in eq. (1)

– n = 5

n = 100 – 5 = 95 Hz
