A massless rod is suspended by two identical strings $AB$ and $CD$ of equal length. A block of mass $m$ is suspended from point $ O $ such that $BO$ is equal to $’x’$. Further, it is observed that the frequency of $1^{st}$ harmonic (fundamental frequency) in $AB$ is equal to $2^{nd}$ harmonic frequency in $CD$. Then, length of $BO$ is

Two trains $A$ and $B$ initially $120\, km$ apart, start moving towards each other on the same track with a velocity of $60\, km/hr$ each. At the moment of start $A$ blows a whistle, which reflects on $B$ and subsequently reflects from $A$ and so on. Take the velocity of sound waves in air $1200\, km/hr$. The distance travelled by sound waves before the trains crash will be (in $km$)

When a string is divided into three segments of length $l_1,\,l_2$ and $l_3,$ the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are $v_1,\,v_2$ and $v_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency $(v)$ of the string is
