Expert Solution
Step 1

The given guitar string has a length of 642 mm and a mass of 3.7 g.

Let L=642 mm=0.642 mm=3.7 g=3.7×10-3 kg

When this guitar string is plucked, a standing wave is generated on the string. This standing wave has a frequency which depends on the force of tension on the string.

This standing wave can vibrate with either its fundamental frequency, or its harmonics.

The fundamental vibrations of a standing wave produced on a string of length L are represented as

λ1=2Lν1=Vλ1V=Tμ

λ1 is the fundamental wavelength and is equal to twice the length of the stringν1 is the fundamental frequencyV is the speed of the wave on the string T is the force of tension on the stringμ is the linear mass density of the string
