A weight is suspended from a sonometer wire. When the length of the wire between the bridges is 80 cm, the wire is found in unison with a tuning fork. But when an additional 0.1 kg weight is suspended from it then, to keep it in unison with the same fork, its length between the bridges is to be increased by 1 cm. What weight was suspended from the wire in the beginning?
