A wave in a string has amplitude of 2 cm. The wave travels in the +ve direction of x-axis with a speed of 128 m ${\mathrm{s}}^{-1}$ and it is noted that 5 complete waves are formed in 4m length of the string. The equation describing the wave is

1. y=(0.02)sin (15.7x - 2010t)m

2. y = (0.02) sin (15.7x + 2010t)m

3. y = (0.02) sin (7.85x - 1005t)m

4. y = (0.02) sin (7.85x + 1005t)m

Each of the two strings of length 51.6 cm and 49.1  cm are tensioned separately by 20 N force. Mass per unit length of both the strings is same and equal to 1 g ${\mathrm{m}}^{-1}$. When both the strings vibrate simultaneously the number of beats is

When a string is divided into three segments of length ${\mathrm{l}}_1,<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>{\mathrm{l}}_2<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>\mathrm{and}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>{\mathrm{l}}_3$, the fundamental frequencies of these three segments are ${\mathrm{v}}_1,<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>{\mathrm{v}}_2<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>\mathrm{and}<mspace\; width="1em"></mspace>{\mathrm{v}}_3$ respectively. The original fundamental frequency (v) of the string is
