Question 8 One string of a certain musical instrument is 78.0 cm long and has a mass of 8.70 g. It is being played in a room where the speed of sound is 344 m/s. Part A To what tension must you adjust the string so that, when vibrating in its third overtone (ie. the fourth harmonic), it produces sound of wavelength 0.752 m ? (Assume that the breaking stress of the wire is very large and isn't exceeded.) Express your answer in newtons. Part B What frequency sound does this string produce in its fundamental mode of vibration? Express your answer in hertzes.

Tuning the Waves. You and your team are designing a system that allows you to control the speed of a transverse wave on a thin tungsten wire by adjusting its tension with a spring. One end of the wire is connected to an inner wall of a large wooden crate and the other end to one side of a spring. The opposite side of the spring is then connected to a screw that is mounted on the opposite wall of the crate. The screw can then be adjusted to stretch the spring, and therefore adjust the tension in the wire. The uniform wire is 75.6 cm long and has a mass of 3.15 × 103 kg. The spring has an unstretched length of 11.0 cm and a spring In the lowest possible tension setting of the screw, that is, that which stretches from its equilibrium position. The screw can be turned to stretch it an additional attainable speeds of transverse waves that can travel on the wire with this setup?
