Question
The tension of a wire is 2.5 kg. When the load increase its frequency changes to 3: 2. Find the original stress.

Answer

 Let original stress is T.
$n=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\ldots\ldots (1)$
To increase 2.5 kilogram then frequency is equal to
$\frac{3}{2} n .$
$\frac{3}{2} n=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T+2.5}{m}}\ldots\ldots (2)$
Divide equation (1) and (2)
$\Rightarrow \frac{2}{3}=\sqrt{\frac{T}{T+2.5}}$
Taking square both side
$\frac{4}{9}=\frac{T}{T+2.5}$
$4 T+10=9 T$
$10=9 T-4 T$
$5T=10$
$T=\frac{10}{5}=2 kg \cdot w t$.
