Question No. 35
• If a wire of length 2 meter
weighing 80.0 gram is stretched
under the tension of 150N, then find
out the velocity of the wave and also
calculate the fundamental frequency
generated.
Answers
Answer:
the answer is 750n because the its 150 n
Given,
length = 2m
weight = 0.8 kg
tension = 150 N
To find,
velocity of the wave and fundamental frequency
Solution,
To find the velocity of the wave, we need to first find the linear density of the wire.
Linear density of wire = mass/length
Linear density = 2/0.80
Linear density = 2.5 kg/m
Using linae density to calculate velocity,
velocity = √(Tension/ linear density)
v = √(150/2.5)
v = √(60) m/s = 7.7 m/s
The fundamental frequency of a wire is given as:
fundamental frequency = v/2f
The frequency of a wire is 2 × length of the wire.
∵Fundamental frequency = √60/(2*2)
Fundamental frequency = √60/4
Fundamental frequency = 2√15/4
Fundamental frequency = √15/2
Fundamental frequency = 1.93 Hz
The velocity of the wave is 7.7 m/s and the fundamental frequency generated is 1.93 Hz.
