A string is tied to the ceiling and is attached to a 50 kg mass that hangs down freely. The 1.5-m-long string has a mass of 3.7 grams.
a. What is the speed of waves that exist on the string?
b. What is the frequency of the fundamental (m=1) harmonic of standing waves on the string?
c. What is the frequency of the 3rd (m=3) harmonic of standing waves on the string?
d. How much mass would have to be hanging from the string so that your answer from part c would be the frequency of the fundamental (m=1) harmonic?
