A thin taut string is fixed at both ends and stretched along the horizontal x-axis with its left end at x = 0. It is vibrating in its third OVERTONE,
 
  and the equation for the vertical displacement of any point on the string is y(x,t) = (1.22 cm) sin(14.4 m-1)x cos(166 rad/s)t.
  (a) What are the frequency and wavelength of the fundamental mode of this string?
  (b) How long is the string?
  (c) How fast do waves travel on this string?

Question 2

A 1.0-g string that is 0.64 m long is fixed at both ends and is under tension. This string produces a 100-Hz tone when it vibrates in the third harmonic. The speed of sound in air is 344 m/s. The tension in the string, in is closest to
 
  A) 2.8 N.
  B) 2.3 N.
  C) 1.8 N.
  D) 3.4 N.
  E) 3.9 N.

Question 3

Two violinists are trying to tune their instruments in an orchestra. One is producing the desired frequency of 440.0 Hz. The other is producing a frequency of 448.4 Hz.
 
  By what percentage should the out-of-tune musician change the tension in his string to bring his instrument into tune at 440.0 Hz? A) +1.9
  B) -1.9
  C) +3.7
  D) -3.7
  E) +8.4

Did you know?

Your skin wrinkles if you stay in the bathtub a long time because the outermost layer of skin (which consists of dead keratin) swells when it absorbs water. It is tightly attached to the skin below it, so it compensates for the increased area by wrinkling. This happens to the hands and feet because they have the thickest layer of dead keratin cells.

Did you know?

Blastomycosis is often misdiagnosed, resulting in tragic outcomes. It is caused by a fungus living in moist soil, in wooded areas of the United States and Canada. If inhaled, the fungus can cause mild breathing problems that may worsen and cause serious illness and even death.

Did you know?

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

Did you know?

Hippocrates noted that blood separates into four differently colored liquids when removed from the body and examined: a pure red liquid mixed with white liquid material with a yellow-colored froth at the top and a black substance that settles underneath; he named these the four humors (for blood, phlegm, yellow bile, and black bile).

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system destroys its own healthy tissues. When this occurs, white blood cells cannot distinguish between pathogens and normal cells.
