- the weight of an object at the equator would decrease.
- the weight of an object at the north pole would decrease.
- all objects on Earth would become weightless.
The correct answer is: the weight of an object at the equator would increase.

A uniform string clamped at both ends is vibrated at constant frequency f. Initially, its vibration forms a standing wave with three antinodes. The tension in the string is gradually increased until the next standing wave mode appears. What is the ratio of final and initial tensions in the string? Assume that the string maintains the same dimensions throughout the tightening.
