The frequency of the fundamental note of a 66 cm long open tube is the same as that of a 20 cm long stretched wire whose mass is 0.1 g cm-1. If the speed of sound in air is 330 m s-1, then determine the tension in the wire.

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?

A tuning fork is marked 256 number. What does it indicate? It is in unison with the wire of a sonometer whose length is 81 cm and which is under a tension of 4 kg. How can this wire be brought in unison with a fork marked 384 by (i) changing the tension only, (ii) changing the length only?
