A string 3.0 m long with a mass of 3.3 g is stretched between two fixed points with a tension of 86 N. Find the frequency of the fundamental on this string.
Added by Eric S.
Step 1
The speed of a wave on a string is given by the formula v = sqrt(T/μ), where T is the tension in the string and μ is the linear mass density of the string. The linear mass density μ is the mass of the string divided by its length. In this case, μ = (3.3 g)/(3.0 Show more…
