MCQ
A tuning fork of known frequency $256\,Hz$ makes $5$ beats per second with the vibrating string of a guitar. The beat frequency decreases to $2$ beats per second when the tension in the guitar string slightly increased. The frequency of the guitar string before increasing the tension was ..... $Hz$
  • A
    $257$
  • B
    $261$
  • C
    $254$
  • $251$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$251$
d
On increasing tension frequency of wire increases

So,

So beat frequency is decreases in case of $251$ $\mathrm{\,Hz}$

Sometimes it is convenient to construct a system of units so that all quantities can be expressed in terms of only one physical quantity. In one such system, dimensions of different quantities are given in terms of a quantity $X$ as follows: [position $]=\left[X^\alpha\right] ;[$ speed $]=\left[X^\beta\right]$; [acceleration $]=\left[X^{ p }\right]$; [linear momentum $]=\left[X^{ q }\right]$; [force $]=\left[X^{ I }\right]$. Then -

$(B)$ $p+q-r=\beta$

$(C)$ $p-q+r=\alpha$

$(D)$ $p+q+r=\beta$
