A violinist places her finger so that the vibrating section of a 1.00 g/m string has a length of 40.0 cm, then she draws her bow across it. A listener nearby in a 20 degrees Celcius room hears a note with a wavelength of 60.0 cm. What is the tension in the string?

Solutions

Expert Solution

first find the frequency heard...

speed of sound at 20 deg C = 343 m/s

f = v / λ = 343 /0.60 = 571.7 Hz

Then... find the wavelength of the wave on the string:

λ = 2L = 2 * 0.40 = 0.80 meters

Find the speed of the waves on the string: speed = λ f = 0.80 * 571.7 = 457.3 m/s

Then use: speed² = Tension / μ or

Tension = speed² *μ = 457.3² * 0.001 = 209.2 Newtons

The G string on a guitar is 69 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushing the string against various frets, which changes the string's length. The third fret from the neck gives B♭ (233.08 Hz); the fourth fret gives B (246.94 Hz). How far apart are the third and fourth frets? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
