A wire having a linear mass density 9.0 × 10–4 kg/m is stretched between two rigid supports with a tension of 900 N. The wire resonates at a frequency of 500 Hz. The next higher frequency at which the same wire resonates is 550 Hz. The length of the wire is ______m.

μ = 9.0 × 10–4 kg/m

T = 900 N

V = \(\sqrt{\frac{T}{μ}}\) = \(\sqrt{\frac{900}{9 \times 10^{-4}}}\)

= 1000 m/s

f1 = 500 Hz

f = 550

\(\frac{nV}{2 \ell}\) = 500  ......(i)

\(\frac{(n+1)V}{2 \ell}\) = 500   .....(ii)

(ii)  (i)

\(\frac{V}{2 \ell}\) = 50

ℓ = \(\frac{1000}{2 \times 50}\) = 10
