A simple instrument with two strings S1 and S2 is shown in the figure. Both strings have the same tension T and length L, but the strings have different masses to play two different notes. String S1plays the note middle C (f1 = 263 Hz) and string S2 plays the note A# (f2 = 462 Hz). What is the tension in string S2 if it has a mass m = 8.99 g? Give your answer in units of N.
