A sonometer wire under tension of 64 N vibrating in its fundamental mode is in resonance with a vibrating tuning fork. The vibrating portion of the sonometer wire has a length of 10 cm and mass of 1 g, The vibrating tuning fork is now moved away from the vibrating wire with a constant speed and an observer standing near the sonometer hears one beat per second. Calculate the speed (in cm s-1) with which the tuning fork is moved, if the speed of sound in air is 300 m s-1.

The displacement of the medium in a sound wave is given by the equation y1=Acosax+bt where A, a and b are positive constants. The wave is reflected by an obstacle situated a x=0. The intensity of the reflected wave is 0.64 times that of the incident wave. If

(i) the wavelength and frequency of incident wave are Pπa,bQπ respectively.
(ii) the equation for the reflected wave is yr=-R Acosax-bt
(iii) In the resultant wave formed after reflection, the maximum and minimum values of the particle speeds in the medium areSAb, TAb .

(iv) the resultant wave as a superposition of a standing wave and a travelling wave isy=UAsinax sinbt+VAcos(ax+bt).

then find P+Q+R+S+T+U+V.
