MCQ
In a sonometer wire, the tension is maintained by suspending a $50.7 kg$ mass from the free end of the wire. The suspended mass has a volume of $ 0.0075 \, m^3$. The fundamental frequency of the wire is $260 Hz$. If the suspended mass is completely submerged in water, the fundamental frequency will become .... $Hz$ (take $g = 10 ms^{-2}$)
  • $240$
  • B
    $230$
  • C
    $220$
  • D
    $200$

Answer

Correct option: A.
$240$
a
$n = \frac{p}{{2l}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}}  \propto \sqrt T $

$\Rightarrow$$\frac{{{n_1}}}{{{n_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{T_1}}}{{{T_2}}}} $

$\Rightarrow$$\frac{{260}}{{{n_2}}} = \sqrt {\frac{{50.7g}}{{(50.7 - 0.0075 \times {{10}^3})g}}} $

$\Rightarrow$${n_2} \approx 240$

A vernier callipers used by student has $20$ divisions in $1\;cm$ on main scale. $10$ vernier divisions coincide with $9$ main scale divisions. When jaws are closed, zero of main scale is on left of zero of vernier scale and $6\ th$ division of vernier scale coincides with any of main scale divisions. He places a wooden cylinder in between the jaws and measures the length. The zero of vernier scale is on right of $3.20\;cm$ and $8\ th$ vernier division coincides with any main scale division.
