(b) As we know plucking distance from one end $ = \frac{l}{{2p}}$
==> $25 = \frac{{100}}{{2p}}$ ==> $p = 2$. Hence frequency of vibration
$n = \frac{p}{{2l}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} = \frac{2}{{2 \times 1}}\sqrt {\frac{{20}}{{5 \times {{10}^{ - 4}}}}} $ = $200Hz.$

    A vibrating string of certain length $l$ under a tension $T$ resonates with a mode corresponding to the first overtone (third harmonic) of an air column of length $75\, cm$ inside a tube closed at one end. The string also generates $4\, beats$ per second when excited along with a tuning fork of frequency $n$. Now when the tension of the string is slightly increased the number of beats reduces to $2\, per second$. Assuming the velocity of sound in air to be $340\, m/s$, the frequency $n$ of the tuning fork in $Hz$ is
