Two uniform stretched steel strings \(A\) and \(B\) are vibrating under the same tension. The first overtone of \(A\) is equal to the second overtone of \(B\). If the radius of \(A\) is twice that of \(B\), then the ratio of the lengths of the strings is

  1. A 0.085416666666667
  2. B 0.043055555555556
  3. C 0.04375
  4. D 0.044444444444444

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.04375

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Frequency in stretched string, \[ f=\frac{n}{2 l} \cdot v=\frac{n}{2 l} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}} \] where, \(l=\) length, \(T=\) tension and \(m=\) mass per unit length So, \(\quad m=\frac{\pi r^2 l \cdot d}{l}\), where, \(d=\) density and \[ m=\pi r^2 d \text {. } \] Given, \(f_A\)…
