1. (A) As shown in Figure , we assume ACB to be a small unkinkedsection of rope subtending anangle at O. We choose C at themidpoint of an arc. The centripetalforce is provided by the sum of twotension forces F A and F B .
F net = F A + F B
In order that the force be directed towards O we must have | F A | = | F B | = F.
The net inward radial force = 2F sin
2= F , where is small.
Equating this to the required centripetal force, we have
(mR ) 2R = F
since, mR ( ) is the mass of this section.

2. (A) Frequency of sonometer wire = 512 Hz
Number of beats = 5
Frequency of pipe = 517 or 507 Hz
Since the frequency of sonometer is reduced because of reduction in tensionand since it produces unison after change in tension with organ pipe thefrequency of organ pipe = 507 Hz.
Frequency at 15 C = 507 Hz
Let the temperature be raised to x C so that the frequency becomes 512.
