Question

A wire is attached to a pan of mass 100 g that contains a 1 kg mass as shown in the figure. When the wire is plucked, it vibrates at a fundamental frequency of 110 Hz. An additional mass M is then added to the pan and the fundamental frequency changes to 130 Hz. The value of mass M is

Solution

The correct option is B 0.44 kg
The formula of fundamental frequency is,

f=n2lTμ

where l is length, T is tension and μ is linear mass density of the wire.

Fundamental frequency fT

ff=T1T2

110130=T1T2

Initially, mass was (100 g+1 kg)

So T1=(1.1 kg×g)N

When M mass is added,

T2=(1.1+M)g N

(Where M is in kg)

So,

110130=(1.1)g(1.1+M)g=1.11.1+M

(110)2(130)2=1.11.1+M

(1.1×1102)+(1102×M)=1302×1.1

M=(1302×1.1)(1.1×1102)1102=0.4360.44 kg
