A hollow pipe of length 0.8 m is closed at one end. At its open end a 0.5 m long uniform string is vibrating in its second harmonic and it resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the wire is 50 N and the speed of sound is 320 ms−1, the mass of the string is
Solution:
2(v12l1)=v24l2 ∴√T/μl1=3204l2
( μ= mass per unit length of wire)
or √50/μ0.5=3204×0.8
Solving we get μ=0.02kgm=20gm
∴ Mass of string
=\left(20 \frac{\mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{m}}\right)(0.5 \mathrm{~m})=10 \mathrm{~g}
∴ The correct option is (b).
