1. A circus performer stretches a 16 kg tightrope between two towers separated by 40 meters. He strikes one end of the rope and sends a wave along it toward the other tower. He notes that it takes the wave on the string 2.9 seconds to reach the opposite tower and come back. (a) At what frequency would he have to hop up and down to create a standing wave with 5 nodes? (b) What tension would the rope have?
