    The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is $0.135\, g / cm$. A transverse wave of the form $y =-0.21 \sin ( x +30 t )$ is produced in it, where $x$ is in meter and $t$ is in second. Then, the expected value of tension in the wire is $x \times 10^{-2} N$. Value of $x$ is . (Round-off to the nearest integer)

    $S_1$ and $S_2$ are two identical sound sources of frequency $656 \ Hz$. The source $S_1$ is located at $O$ and $S_2$ moves anti$-$clockwise with a uniform speed $4 \sqrt{2} \ ms ^{-1}$ on a circular path around $O$, as shown in the figure. There are three points $P, Q$ and $R$ on this path such that $P$ and $R$ are diametrically opposite while $Q$ is equidistant from them. A sound detector is placed at point $P$. The source $S_1$ can move along direction $O P.[$Given: The speed of sound in air is $324 \ ms ^{-1} ]$
    $(1)$ When only $S_2$ is emitting sound and it is $Q$, the frequency of sound measured by the detector in $Hz$ is $. . . . .$
    $(2)$ Consider both sources emitting sound. When $S_2$ is at $R$ and $S_1$ approaches the detector with a speed $4 \ ms ^{-1}$, the beat frequency measured by the detector is  $Hz$.

    One insulated conductor from a household extension cord has a mass per unit length of $μ.$ A section of this conductor is held under tension between two clamps. A subsection is located in a magnetic field of magnitude $B$ directed perpendicular to the  length of the cord. When the cord carries an $AC$ current of $"i"$ at a frequency of $f,$ it  vibrates in resonance in its simplest standing-wave vibration state. Determine the  relationship that must be satisfied between the separation $d$ of the clamps and the tension $T$ in the cord.

    A sound source $S$ is moving along a straight track with speed $v,$ and is emitting sound of frequency $v_{o}$ (see figure). An observer is standing at a finite clistance, at the point $O$, from the track. The time variation of frequency heard by the observer is best represented by

    $\left(t_{0}\right.$ represents the instant when the distance between the source and observer is minimum)
