A nylon guitar string has a linear density of 7.2 g/m and is under a tension of 150 N.  The fixed supports are distance D=90.0 cm apart.  The string is oscillating in the standing wave pattern shown below.  Calculate the frequency of the traveling wave whose superposition gives the standing wave below.  Hint:  First determine the wave speed then determine the wavelength based on standing wave geometry.  Then determine the frequency based upon the velocity and wavelength.
