A string of length 1m and mass 2 × 10 ^ - 5 kg is under tension T ....

A string of length 1m1m and mass 2×10−5kg2 \times {10}^{- 5}kg is under tension TT. When the string vibrates, two successive harmonics are found to occur at frequencies 750Hz750Hz and 1000Hz1000Hz. The value of tension TT is _____ newton.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

Given: l=1m,m=2×10–5kgl = 1m, m = 2 \times {10}^{– 5}kg.

As successive harmonics are being given, so it is the case of both ends fixed.

Now,

fn+1−fn=1000−750{f}_{n + 1} - {f}_{n} = 1000 - 750

⇒(n+1)2lTμ−n2lTμ=250⇒ \dfrac{\left(n + 1\right)}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} - \dfrac{n}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} = 250

⇒12lTμ=250⇒ \dfrac{1}{2l}\sqrt{\dfrac{T}{\mu}} = 250

⇒T2×10−5=250×2×1⇒ \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{2 \times {10}^{- 5}}} = 250 \times 2 \times 1

⇒T2×10−5=25×104⇒ \dfrac{T}{2 \times {10}^{- 5}} = 25 \times {10}^{4}

⇒T=50×10−1⇒ T = 50 \times {10}^{- 1}

⇒T=5N⇒ T = 5N
