A string is stretched between a fixed support and a pulley a distance 125 cm apart. The tension on the string is controlled by a weight hanging from the string below the pulley. An electomechnical vibrator is used to vibrate the string at 120 Hz. When the weight is adjusted to 275 g, the string is found to oscillate in its third standing wave mode (three loops). What is the speed of wave propogation on the string in this mode? What mass must be suspended from the string to produce instead the second standing wave mode (two loops)?

A string is wrapped around a pulley with a radius of 2.0 cm and no appreciable friction in its axle. The pulley is initially not turning. A constant force of 50 N is applied to the string, which does not slip, causing the pulley to rotate and the string to unwind. If the string unwinds 1.2 m in 4.9 s, what is the moment of inertia of the pulley?

Tendons are, essentially, elastic cords stretched between two fixed ends; as such, they can support standing waves. These resonances can be undesirable. The Achilles tendon connects the heel with a muscle in the calf. A woman has a 20-cm-long tendon with a cross-section area of 130 mm2 . The density of tendon tissue is 1100 kg/m3. For a reasonable tension of 500 N , what will be the fundamental resonant frequency of her Achilles tendon?
