A string of length L = 2.9 m and mass m = 0.095 kg is fixed between two stationary points, and when the string is plucked a transverse wave of frequency f = 84 Hz is generated. Part A: What is the strings linear density, ρ, in kilograms per meter? Part B: If the wavelength is 10.0 cm, which harmonic is this, counting the fundamental as 1? Part C: For the case described in Part (b), what is the tension in N?

Given that the length of the string is 2.9m, and a mass of 0.095kg is fixed between the two stationary points. The frequency of the transverse wave is f = 84Hz.  Write the expression for linear mass density.  ρ=ML  =(0.095kg)2.9m  =0.0327kgm  a) The linear mass density is 0.0327kgm

Write the relation between the length of the string and number of loop.  L=Nλ2  N=2Lλ  =2(2.9m)0.10m  = 58  The harmonic of the string wave is 58.

Write the expression for frequency. f=Nv2L v=2LfN P=2(2.9m)(84Hz)58 =8.4m/s The velocity can also be written as v=Tρ T=v2ρ =(8.4m/s)2(0.0327kg/m) =2.307N c) The tension is 2.307 N.
