A sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges when a mass of $9 kg$ is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by a mass $M$, the wire resonates with the same tuning fork forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of $M$ is ... $kg$

A string under a tension of $129.6\,\, N$ produces $10\,\, beats /sec$  when it is vibrated along with a tuning fork. When the tension is the string is increased to $160\,\, N,$ it sounds in unison with same tuning fork. calculate fundamental freq. of tuning fork .... $Hz$

Which order of harmonics is missing or absent in case of stationary sound waves produced in a closed pipe ?

A string is stretched between fixed points separated by $75.0\ cm$. It is observed to have resonant frequencies of $420\ Hz$ and $315\ Hz.$ There are no other resonant frequencies between these two. Then, the lowest resonant frequency for this string is  .... $Hz$

The fundamental frequency of a sonometer wire increases by $6$ $Hz$ if its tension is increased by $44\%$ keeping the length constant. The change in the fundamental frequency of the sonometer wire in $Hz$ when the length of the wire is increased by $20\%$, keeping the original tension in the wire will be :-
