A 32 cm length of wire has a mass of 6.0 g. It is stretched between two fixed supports and is under a tension of 145 N. What is the fundamental frequency of this wire?

The length and diameter of a metal wire are both doubled. The fundamental frequency of vibration will change from "n' to, (Tension is kept constant and material of both the wires is same)
Adi S.
The frequency of the fundamental mode of transverse vibrations of a stretched wire is 256 Hz when the wire is 100 mm long. If the wire is shortened to 400 mm at the same tension, what is the fundamental frequency?
