The length of a sonometer wire is.75m and density is 9× 10^3 kg/m^3. It can bear a stress of 8.1 × 10^8 N/m^2 without exceeding the elastic limit . The fundamental frequency that can be produced in the wire is

1. 200Hz 2. 150Hz 3. 600 Hz 4. 450Hz

Let the area of the wire be ASo we can write:Stress = F/A  = T/AT= Stress(A) = 8.1 x 108 (A) Density = Mass/volume Mass = Density x Volume Mass = 9 x 103 ( Volume)= 9 x 103 ( l x A)where l is the lengthMass =  9 x 103 ( 0.75 x A)= 6.75x 103xASpeed = c = T/mass per unit length= 8.1 x 108 (A) /6.75x 103xA/0.75= 300 m/sf = c/2l = 300/1.5 = 200hz
