A heavy ball of mass M is suspendeed from the ceiling of a car by a light string of mass m (m < < M). When the car is at rest, the speed of transverse waves in the string is 60 ms^$$-$$1. When the car has acceleration a, the wave-speed increases to 60.5 ms^$$-$$1. The value of a, in terms of gravitational acceleration g, is closest to :

Two sitar strings, A and B, playing the note 'Dha' are slightly out of tune and produce beats of frequency 5 Hz. The tension of the string B s slightly increased and the beat frequency is found to decrease by 3Hz. If the frequency of A is 425 Hz, the original frequency of B is :

The end correction of a resonance column is 1 cm. If the shortest length resonating with the tunning fork is 10 cm, the next resonating length should be :

A granite rod of 60 cm length is clamped at its middle point and is set into longitudinal vibrations. The density of granite is 2.7 $$\times$$ 10³ kg/m³ and its Young’s modulus is 9.27 $$\times$$ 10¹⁰ Pa. What will be the fundamental frequency of the longitudinal vibrations ?
