MCQ
A taut string at both ends vibrates in its $n^{th}$ overtone. The distance between adjacent Node and Antinode is found to be $'d'$. If the length of the string is $L,$ then
- ✓$L = 2d (n + 1)$
- B$L = d (n + 1)$
- C$L = 2dn$
- D$L = 2d (n - 1)$
✓
Answer
Correct option: A.
$L = 2d (n + 1)$

For a taut string between two ends$:$
$n^{\text {th}}$overtone$=(n+1)$harmonic
$n^{\text {th}}$overtone$=(n+1)$harmonic
$\frac{(n+1)}{2} \lambda=L \ldots \ldots \ldots .(L=\text {lengtho $f$ string}) \ldots \ldots \ldots .(1)$
Distance between node and antinode is given by $\frac{\lambda}{4}$ which is equal to $”d”$ according to
the question. $\left(\frac{\lambda}{4}=d o r \lambda=4 d\right)$
Substituting the value of $\mathrm{d}$ in equation $(1)$
$\frac{(n+1) 4 d}{2}=L$
$(n+1) 2 d=L$

A block of mass $m$ starts at rest at height $h$ on a frictionless inclined plane. The block slides down the plane, travels across a rough horizontal surface with coefficient of kinetic friction $μ$ , and compresses a spring with force constant $k$ a distance $x$ before momentarily coming to rest. Then the spring extends and the block travels back across the rough surface, sliding up the plane. The block travels a total distance $d$ on rough horizontal surface. The correct expression for the maximum height $h’$ that the block reaches on its return is

$A$ block placed on a rough inclined plane of inclination $(\theta =30^o)$ can just be pushed upwards by applying $a$ force $"F"$ as shown. If the angle of inclination of the inclined plane is increased to $(\theta = 60^o)$, the same block can just be prevented from sliding down by application of a force of same magnitude. Thecoefficient of friction between the block and the inclined plane is
