(a) According to problem

$\frac{1}{{2L}}\sqrt {\frac{T}{m}} = \frac{v}{{4L}}$…..$(i) $

and $\frac{1}{{2L}}\sqrt {\frac{{T + 8}}{m}} = \frac{{3v}}{{4L}}$ ..…$(ii)$ 

Dividing equation $(i)$ and $(ii),$ $\sqrt {\frac{T}{{T + 8}}} = \frac{1}{3} \Rightarrow T = 1N$

    An open pipe is in resonance in its $2^{nd}$ harmonic with tuning fork of frequency ${f_1}$. Now it is closed at one end. If the frequency of the tuning fork is increased slowly from ${f_1}$ then again a resonance is obtained with a frequency ${f_2}$. If in this case the pipe vibrates ${n^{th}}$ harmonics then
