On a guitar, the lowest-toned string is usually strung to the E note, which produces sound at 82.4 Hz. The diameter of E guitar strings is typically 0.0500 in, and the scale length between the bridge and nut (the effective length of the string) is 25.5 in. Various musical acts tune their E strings down to produce a "heavier" sound or to better fit the vocal range of the singer. As a guitarist you want to detune the E on your guitar to C (65.4 Hz).

A "C" flute creates the note C4 when it is played at its resonance frequency, that is 261 Hz on the evenly tempered scale. Flute frequencies are changed by opening holes in its tube, creating a node at that hole and effectively shortening the 66 cm tube. The flute and the guitar make a good instrumental combination, and for that they must be tuned together. You have seen that a guitar's 6 strings are usually tuned to (E) 329.63 Hz E4 (B) 246.94 Hz B3 (G) 196.00 Hz G3 (D) 146.83 Hz D3 (A) 110.00 Hz A2 (E) 82.41 Hz E2 1. Is there a way to alter the frequency of the flute so that it matches one of these open strings at resonance? Explain your answer. 2. Given the length of its tube and the frequency of the flute sound, what is the speed of sound in air it has been made for? 3. At what temperature would the air be in °C to give this speed? What is that in °F? 4. At this temperature, what is the most probable speed of a nitrogen molecule in m/s?
The lowest frequency string on a guitar is 65.5 cm long and is tuned to 80.0 Hz. By fingering the guitar at the fifth fret, you shorten the vibrating length of the string, thereby changing the fundamental frequency of this string to match that of the next-highest-frequency string on the guitar, 110 Hz. How long is the vibrating part of the lowest-frequency string when it is fingered at the fifth fret?
Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.65 m) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the fourth harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the second harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 3.60×102 Hz. What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings?

A guitar string has an overall length of 2.0 m and a total mass of 35.2 g before it is strung on a guitar. Once on the guitar, however, there is a distance of 85 cm between its fixed end points. It is tightened to a tension of 345 N. (a) What is wave speed for waves on the tightened string? (b) What are the wavelength and frequency of the traveling waves that interfere to form the fundamental and second harmonic standing waves on the string? Sketch standing wave patterns of both harmonic in this string.
A guitar string of length L = 0.71 m is oriented along the x-direction and under a tension of T = 92 N. The string is made of steel which has a density of ρ = 7800 kg / m3.
