A string has a mass attached to it as shown in the figure. The length of the entire string is 2.4 m, and its mass is 12 gram. The hanging mass attached to the string is M = 4 kg. 1/4 of the length of the string is in the hanging part (vertical) and 3/4 is parallel to the table. The string in the horizontal part is plucked, and standing waves are observed in the third harmonic. Calculate the frequency of vibrations in the string (in Hz), and what will be the speed of the wave in the string? Enter the speed in m/s as your answer in canvas. M kg
