A massless rod B D of length l is suspended by two identical massless strings A B and C D of equal lengths. A block of mass m is suspended from a point P such that B P is equal to x . If the fundamental frequency of the left wire is twice of the fundamental frequency of right wire, then the value of x is
Options
- Al / 5
- Bl / 4
- C4 l / 5
- D3 l / 4
Correct answer
A. l / 5
Step-by-step solution
f ⁡ ∝ v ⁡ ∝ T ⁡ f ⁡ AB = 2 f ⁡ CD ∴ T AB = 4 T CD     . . . ( 1 ) Further Σ τ p = 0 ∴ T AB x = T CD ℓ - x or 4 x = l ⁡ - x T AB = 4 T CD or x = l ⁡ / 5
