    A metal wire of linear mass density of 9.8 g/m is stretched with a tension of 10 kg-wt between two rigid supports 1 m apart. The wire passes at its middle point between the poles of a permanent magnet and it vibrates in resonance when carrying an alternating current of frequency n. The frequency n of the alternating source is

    A)  50 Hz                                   

    B)  100 Hz

    C)  200 Hz                                 

    D)  25 Hz

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                     The wire will vibrate with the same frequency as that of source. This can be considered as an example of forced vibration. \[T=10\times 9.8\text{ }N=98\text{ }N,\] \[m=9.8\times {{10}^{-3}}kg/m\] Frequency of wire, \[f=\frac{1}{2L}\sqrt{\left( \frac{T}{m} \right)}\] \[=\frac{1}{2\times 1}\sqrt{\left( \frac{98}{9.8\times {{10}^{-3}}} \right)}\] \[=50\text{ }Hz\]
