The total length of a sonometer wire fixed between two bridges is 110cm110cm. Now, two more bridges are placed to divide the length of the wire in the ratio 6:3:26: 3: 2. If the tension in the wire is 400N400N and the mass per unit length of the wire is 0.01kgm−10 . 01kg{m}^{- 1}, then the minimum common frequency with which all the three parts can vibrate, is

Options

  1. A1000Hz1000 Hz
  2. B1100Hz1100 Hz
  3. C100Hz100 Hz
  4. D110Hz110 Hz

Correct answer

A. 1000Hz1000 Hz

Step-by-step solution

l1:l2:l3=6:3:2{l}_{1} : {l}_{2} : {l}_{3} = 6: 3: 2

The frequancy in any nth{n}^{th} mode for a segment is f=nv2l=constantf = \dfrac{nv}{2l} = constant

no of loops ∝ length of the segment

so, no of loops are in the ratio 6:3:2

hence total loops =11

The string is divided in 60 cm, 30 cm, & 20 cm part such that for minimum frequency, the wavelength is maximum

λ2=111x110=10cm\dfrac{\lambda}{2} = \dfrac{1}{11}\text{x}110 = 10 cm

f=Vλ=1λ⋅Fμ=10.24000.01=1000Hz\text{f} = \dfrac{\text{V}}{\lambda} = \dfrac{1}{\lambda} \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{\text{F}}{\mu}} = \dfrac{1}{\text{0.2}} \sqrt{\dfrac{4 0 0}{\text{0.01}}} = 1 0 0 0 Hz
