A pipe open at one end has length $0.8 \mathrm{~m}$. At the open end of the tube a string $0.5 \mathrm{~m}$ long is vibrating in its $1^{\text {st }}$ overtone and resonates with fundamental frequency of pipe. If tension in the string is $50 \mathrm{~N}$, the mass of string is (speed of sound $=320 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$)
  1. 25 gram
  2. 15 gram
  3. 20 gram
  4. 10 gram

Solution

$2 \times\left[\frac{1}{2 \ell_{1}} \sqrt{\frac{T}{m}}\right]=\frac{v}{4 \ell_{2}}$ $\frac{1}{0.5} \sqrt{\frac{50}{m}}=\frac{320}{4 \times 0.8}$ $\therefore \quad$ Total mass of the string $=0.02 \times 0.5 \mathrm{~kg}=10 \mathrm{gm}$
