A guitar string with a mass density µ =2 x 10-4 kg/m is L =0.92 m long on the guitar. The stringis tuned by adjusting thetension to T = 73.7 N. 1) With what speed do waves on the string travel? 2) What is the fundamental frequency for the string? 3) Someone places a finge a distance of 0.146 m from the top end of the guitar. What is the fundamental frequency in this case? 4) To down tune the guitar ( so eveything plays at a lower frequency) how should the tension be adjusted? Choose: a) increase the tension b) decrease the tension c) changing the tension will only alter the velocity not the frequency.

Question

A guitar string with a mass density µ =2 x 10-4 kg/m is L =0.92 m long on the guitar. The stringis tuned by adjusting thetension to T = 73.7 N.

1) With what speed do waves on the string travel?

2) What is the fundamental frequency for the string?

3) Someone places a finge a distance of 0.146 m from the top end of the guitar.

What is the fundamental frequency in this case?

4) To down tune the guitar ( so eveything plays at a lower frequency) how should the tension be adjusted?

Choose:

a) increase the tension 

b) decrease the tension

 c) changing the tension will only alter  the velocity not the frequency.
