If the length of a stretched string is shortened by \(x \%\) and the tension is increased by \(44 \%\). Then the ratio of the final and initial fundamental frequencies is \(1: 2\), then the value of \(x\) is

  1. A 20
  2. B 30
  3. C 40
  4. D 60
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 40

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Fundamental frequency for string, \(n=\frac{1}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\) So, \(n \propto \sqrt{T} / l\) \(\Rightarrow \quad \frac{n^{\prime}}{n}=\sqrt{\frac{T^{\prime}}{T}} \times \frac{l}{l^{\prime}}\) ...(i) Now, \(\quad T^{\prime}=T+0.44 T=\frac{144 T}{100}\) and…
