A massless rod \(B D\) is suspended by two identical massless strings \(A B\) and \(C D\) of equal lengths. A block of mass ' \(m\) ' is suspended point \(P\) such that \(B P\) is equal to ' \(x\) ', if the fundamental frequency of the left wire is twice the fundamental frequency of right wire, then the value of \(x\) is

  1. A \(1 / 5\)
  2. B \(1 / 4\)
  3. C \(41 / 5\)
  4. D \(31 / 4\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(1 / 5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(f \propto v \propto \sqrt{T}\)
Further \(\Sigma \tau_p=0\)
or
or
\(
f_{A B}=2 f_{C D} \Rightarrow T_{A B}=4 T_{C D}
\)
\(
\begin{aligned}
T_{A B}(x) & =T_{C D}(l-x) \\
4 x & =l-x\left(\text { as } T_{A B}-4 T_{C D}\right) \\
x & =\frac{l}{5}
\end{aligned}
\)
