Question

que 2. Why do we keep frequency constant instead of keeping vibrating length constam second law of vibrating string?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The second law of a vibrating string states that for a transverse vibration in a stretched string, the frequency is directly proportional to the square root of the string's tension, when the vibrating string's mass per unit length and the vibrating length are kept constant

The law can be expressed mathematically as follows;

$f = \dfrac{1}{2\cdot l} \cdot \sqrt{\dfrac{T}{m} }$

The second law of the vibrating string can be verified directly, however, the third law of the vibrating string states that frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the mass per unit length cannot be directly verified due to the lack of continuous variation in both the frequency, 'f', and the mass, 'm', simultaneously

Therefore, the law is verified indirectly, by rearranging the above equation as follows;

$m = \dfrac{1}{ l^2} \cdot \dfrac{T}{4\cdot f^2} }$

From which it can be shown that the following relation holds with the limits of error in the experiment

m₁·l₁² = m₂·l₂² = m₃·l₃² = m₄·l₄² = m₅·l₅²
