Questions  

A wire of length l and Mass  per uniform length 6.0×103kg/m is put under tension of 500N . Two consecutive frequencies it resonates at are 420Hz and 490Hz . Then l in meters is

a
8.21 m
b
5.13 m
c
2.06 m
d
2.25 m

detailed solution

Correct option is C

Suppose the wire vibrates at 420Hz  in its nth   harmonic and  at 490Hz  in its n+1th   harmonic. f=n2lTμ ∴490420=n+1n ⇒n=6  Now, from first equation ∴420=62l5006×10−3 ⇒70=12×l500×1036 ⇒140l=5×1056 ⇒l=288.67140=2.0619
