Question

A uniform string of length is stretched with a force (f) if m is the mass per unit length of the string.Using the method of dimensions obtain expression for the frequency of vibration of the string.
Plzz help guys....
will mark brainliest if it is correct.......

Answer 1

hope this helps you to understand the solution

Answer 2

The expression is

$\boxed{v=\frac{k}{l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}}$

Explanation:

Let the frequency of vibration v depends upon, length l, tension T and mass per unit length m in the following way

$v=kl^aT^bm^c$, where k is a constant

Dimensions of v = [T?¹]

Dimensions of l = [L]

Dimensions of T = [MLT?²]

Dimensions of m = [ML?¹]

Thus,

LHS Dimensions =RHS Dimensions

$\implies [T^{-1}]=k[L]^a[MLT^{-2}]^b[ML^{-1}]^c$

$\implies  [T^{-1}]=k[M]^{b+c}[L]^{a+b-c}[T]^{-2b}$

Comparing the dimensions on both sides

We get

$b+c=0$   ............. (1)

$a+b-c=0$  ..............(2)

$-2b=-1$  ................... (3)

From eq (3)

$b=\frac{1}{2}$

Thus, from eq (1)

$c=-\frac{1}{2}$

And from eq (2)

$a+\frac{1}{2}-(-\frac{1}{2})=0$

$\implies a+1=0$

$\implies a=-1$

Thus, the equation becomes

$v=kl^{-1}T^{1/2}m^{-1/2}$

or, $v=\frac{k}{l}(\frac{T}{m})^{1/2}$

or, $v=\frac{k}{l}\sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}$

Thus is the required equation.
