Question

A stone hangs from the free end of a sonometer wire whose vibrating length, when tuned to a tuning fork, is 40 cm. When the stone hangs wholly immersed in water, the resonant length is reduced to 30 cm. The relative density of the stone is

Solution

Correct option is

16/7

 

 where M = mass of stone. If ρ is the density of the stone andV its volume, then m = ρ V. When the stone is wholly immersed in water of density ρ, the effective weight of the stone

      

Given      l = 40 cm and l’ = 30 cm. Also V = V’, which gives
