Problem
A sonometer wire resonates with a given tuning fork forming standing waves with five antinodes between the two bridges when a mass of 9 kg is suspended from the wire. When this mass is replaced by a mass M, the wire resonates with the same tuning fork forming three antinodes for the same positions of the bridges. The value of M is [2002S]
(1) 25 kg
(2) 5 kg
(3) 12.5 kg
(4) 1/25 kg
