A stretched string of length 1m fixed at both ends, having a mass 5...
Given information:
- Length of the string (L) = 1 m
- Mass of the string (m) = 5104 kg
- Tension in the string (T) = 20 N
- Distance of the plucked point from one end (x) = 25 cm = 0.25 m
Formula:
The frequency (f) of a vibrating string is given by the formula:
f = (1/2L) * sqrt(T/m)
Calculations:
Given:
- Length of the string (L) = 1 m
- Mass of the string (m) = 5104 kg
- Tension in the string (T) = 20 N
Using the formula:
f = (1/2L) * sqrt(T/m)
Substituting the given values:
f = (1/2 * 1) * sqrt(20/5104)
Simplifying the expression:
f = 0.5 * sqrt(20/5104)
Taking the square root:
f = 0.5 * 0.063
Evaluating the expression:
f = 0.0315
Converting the frequency to Hz:
f = 0.0315 Hz
Rounding off to the nearest whole number:
f ≈ 0 Hz
Therefore, the frequency of vibration of the stretched string is approximately 0 Hz.
However, it is important to note that the given answer options are all positive frequencies. It is possible that there is an error in the given question or answer options.
