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

  1. A 0.085416666666667
  2. B 0.043055555555556
  3. C 0.04375

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 0.04375

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, 1st overtone of \(A=2\) nd overtone of \(B\) \(\begin{aligned} \Rightarrow & \frac{1}{l_1} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\pi r_1^2 d}} =\frac{3}{2 l_2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\pi r_2^2 d}} \\ \Rightarrow & \frac{r_2}{r_1} =\frac{3}{2}\left(\frac{l_1}{l_2}\right) \end{aligned}\) But…
