JEE Advance - Physics (2010 - Paper 2 Offline - No. 6)
Explanation
The fundamental mode in a pipe closed at one end and the second harmonic in a string are shown in the figure.
Fundamental frequency of a hollow pipe closed at one end is
$${\upsilon _p} = {v \over {4L}}$$
where, v = speed of sound, L = length of a pipe
Frequency of second harmonic of a string is
$${\upsilon _s} = {2 \over {2l}}\sqrt {{T \over \mu }} = {1 \over l}\sqrt {{T \over \mu }} $$
where, T = tension of the string, m = mass per unit length of the string, l = length of the string
$${\upsilon _s} = {1 \over l}\sqrt {{T \over {{m \over l}}}} = {1 \over l}\sqrt {{{Tl} \over m}} = \sqrt {{T \over {ml}}} $$ ...... (i)
where m is the mass of the string
According to given problem, $${\upsilon _p} = {\upsilon _s}$$
$$\therefore$$ $${v \over {4L}} = \sqrt {{T \over {ml}}} $$ or $$m = {{16{L^2}T} \over {{v^2}l}}$$
Substituting the given values, we get
$$m = {{16 \times {{(0.8)}^2} \times (50)} \over {{{(320)}^2} \times 0.5}} = 0.01$$ kg = 10 gram
