Question

Assume that the frequency of the vibrating string depends on applied load, length of the string and mass per unit length.(linear mass density). derive the relation between them.

Answer 1

Answer:

The frequency of vibration of a stretched string(f) depends on length(l), tension(T) and mass per unit length(m) of the

Answer 2

The relation 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 relation becomes

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

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

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

This is the required relation.
