A length of wire has a frequency of 225Hz when stretched by a force of 225N. If the force increased to 324N, what is the new frequency of vibration?

A.

270 Hz

B.

512 Hz

C.

488 Hz

D.

356 Hz

Correct answer is A

f1 = 225Hz, T1 = 225N
f2 = ? T2 = 324N
But f ∝ √T => f = K√T
=> K = f/√T
∴ f1/√T1 = f2/√T2
225/√225 = f2/√324

f2 = 225√324
√225

f2 = 270Hz

An image in a convex lens is upright and magnified 3 times. If the focal length of the lens is 15 cm, what is the object distance?

A.

10 cm

B.

25 cm

C.

16 cm

D.

14 cm

Correct answer is A

m = v/u = -3
v = -3u
f = 15cm
1/v + 1/U = 1/f
1/-3U + 1/u = 1/15
2/3u = 1/15
3U = 15 x 2
U = 30/3
= 10 cm
