Correct answer: 80

  1. Given data
  • Density of wire: ρ=8×103 kg/m3\rho = 8 \times 10^{3}\,\text{kg/m}^3ρ=8×103kg/m3
  • Length between clamps: L=0.5 mL = 0.5\,\text{m}L=0.5m
  • Extension: ΔL=3.2×10−4 m\Delta L = 3.2 \times 10^{-4}\,\text{m}ΔL=3.2×10−4m
  • Young's modulus: Y=8×1010 N/m2Y = 8 \times 10^{10}\,\text{N/m}^2Y=8×1010N/m2

We need the fundamental frequency of the stretched wire.


  1. Use relation between stress and strain

For a wire,

Y=stressstrain=T/AΔL/LY = \frac{\text{stress}}{\text{strain}} = \frac{T/A}{\Delta L/L}Y=strainstress​=ΔL/LT/A​

where TTT is tension and AAA is cross-sectional area.

So,

TA=YΔLL\frac{T}{A} = Y\frac{\Delta L}{L}AT​=YLΔL​

Hence,

T=AYΔLLT = AY\frac{\Delta L}{L}T=AYLΔL​
  1. Linear mass density of wire

If volume density is ρ\rhoρ, then linear density is

μ=ρA\mu = \rho Aμ=ρA
  1. Wave speed on stretched string

The speed of transverse wave is

v=Tμv = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}v=μT​​

Substitute T=AYΔLLT = AY\frac{\Delta L}{L}T=AYLΔL​ and μ=ρA\mu = \rho Aμ=ρA:

v=AY(ΔL/L)ρA=YΔLρLv = \sqrt{\frac{AY(\Delta L/L)}{\rho A}} = \sqrt{\frac{Y\Delta L}{\rho L}}v=ρAAY(ΔL/L)​​=ρLYΔL​​

Now put values:

v=(8×1010)(3.2×10−4)(8×103)(0.5)v = \sqrt{\frac{(8\times 10^{10})(3.2\times 10^{-4})}{(8\times 10^{3})(0.5)}}v=(8×103)(0.5)(8×1010)(3.2×10−4)​​

Simplify numerator:

8×1010⋅3.2×10−4=25.6×1068\times 10^{10} \cdot 3.2\times 10^{-4} = 25.6\times 10^68×1010⋅3.2×10−4=25.6×106

Simplify denominator:

8×103⋅0.5=4×1038\times 10^3 \cdot 0.5 = 4\times 10^38×103⋅0.5=4×103

Thus,

v=25.6×1064×103=6.4×103=6400=80 m/sv = \sqrt{\frac{25.6\times 10^6}{4\times 10^3}} = \sqrt{6.4\times 10^3} = \sqrt{6400} = 80\,\text{m/s}v=4×10325.6×106​​=6.4×103​=6400​=80m/s
  1. Fundamental frequency

For a string fixed at both ends,

f1=v2Lf_1 = \frac{v}{2L}f1​=2Lv​

So,

f1=802×0.5=801=80 Hzf_1 = \frac{80}{2\times 0.5} = \frac{80}{1} = 80\,\text{Hz}f1​=2×0.580​=180​=80Hz
  1. Final answer
80\boxed{80}80​

This matches the stored correct answer.
