Question:medium
A string under tension of 129.6 N produces 10 beats/second when it vibrates along with a tuning fork. When the tension in the string is increased to 160 N, it vibrates in unison with the tuning fork. Then frequency of the tuning fork is
A string under tension of 129.6 N produces 10 beats/second when it vibrates along with a tuning fork. When the tension in the string is increased to 160 N, it vibrates in unison with the tuning fork. Then frequency of the tuning fork is
Show Hint
Frequency of string depends on square root of tension.
