Stationary Waves & Vibrating Strings

A sonometer wire is stretched by hanging a metal bob. The fundamental frequency of vibration of wire is ' $n_1$ '. When the bob is completely immersed in water, the frequency of vibration of wire becomes ' $n_2$ '. The relative density of the metal of the bob is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (c)

$n \propto \sqrt{T}$ ; the buoyant force reduces tension from $V\rho g$ to $V(\rho - \rho_w)g$ .
$\dfrac{n_2^2}{n_1^2} = \dfrac{d-1}{d} \Rightarrow d = \dfrac{n_1^2}{n_1^2 - n_2^2}$
So the answer is (c).
