A uniform wire of length l and mass M is stretched between two fixed points, keeping a tension F. A sound of frequency μ is impressed on it. Then the maximum vibrational energy is existing in the wire when μ =

Options:

Answer:
D
Solution:

We should check it dimensionally

Let μ = K F a M b L c

μ = F a M b L c

= MLT 2 a M b L c

M 0 L 0 T - 1 = M a + b L a + c T - 2 a

a + b = 0  ⇒  b = - a

a + c = 0  ⇒  c = - a

- 2 a = - 1

⇒    a = 1 2

b = - 1 2

c = - 1 2

⇒    μ = K F 1 2 M - 1 2 L - 1 2

μ = K F ML

So only option (iv) satisfies it dimensionally.
