A sonometer wire under a tension of N10N, produces a frequency of 250Hz when plucked. Keeping the length of the wire constant, the tension is adjusted to produce a new frequency of 350Hz. Calculate the new tension

A.

39.2N

B.

19.6N

C.

14.2N

D.

7.4N

E.

5.1N

Correct answer is B

f α T

f1f2=T1T2

250350=10T2

57=10T2

2549=10T2

T2 = 49×1025=19.6
