One string of a certain musical instrument is 75.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.75 g. It is being played in a room where the speed of sound is 344 m/s. (a) To what tension must you adjust the string so that, when vibrating in its second overtone, it produces sound of wavelength 0.765 m? (Assume that the break-ing stress of the wire is very large and isn't exceeded.) (b) What frequency sound does this string produce in its fundamental mode of vibration?
CALC. A thin, taut string tied at both ends and oscillating in its third harmonic has its shape described by the equation , where the origin is at the left end of the string, the -axis is along the string, and the -axis is perpendicular to the string. Draw a sketch that shows the standing-wave pattern.
