f = V 2 ℓ = 1 2 ℓ T μ = 1 2 ℓ T Ad
Also, Y = T ℓ A Δ ℓ ⇒ T A = Y Δ ℓ ℓ ⇒ f = 1 2 ℓ Y Δ ℓ ℓ d
ℓ=1.5 m, ℓΔℓ=0.01, d=7.7×103kg/m3
Y=2.2×1011N/m2
After solving
f = 2 7 × 1 0 3 3 Hz
f ≈ 178.2 Hz
A sonometer wire of length 1.5m is made of steel. The tension in it produces an elastic strain of \text{1%}. What is the fundamental frequency of steel if density and elasticity of steel are 7.7×103kgm−3 and 2.2×1011Nm−2 respectively?

A uniform disc of radius $R$ and mass $M$ is free to oscillate about the axis $A$ as shown in the figure. For small oscillations the time period is ______. ($g$ is acceleration due to gravity) 
The velocity of a particle executing simple harmonic motion along $x$-axis is described as $v^2 = 50 - x^2$, where $x$ represents displacement. If the time period of motion is $\dfrac{x}{7}$ s, the value of $x$ is _____.
A spring stretches by $2$ mm when it is loaded with a mass of $200$ g. From equilibrium position the mass is further pulled down by $2$ mm and released. The frequency associated with the system and maximum energy in the spring are __________ Hz and __________ J, respectively. (Take g $= 10$ m/s$^2$)
As shown in the figure, a spring is kept in a stretched position with some extension by holding the masses 1 kg and 0.2 kg with a separation more than spring natural length and are released. Assuming the horizontal surface to be frictionless, the angular frequency (in SI unit) of the system is : $k=150 \mathrm{~N} / \mathrm{m}$
