The note that is three octaves above middle C is supposed to have a fundamental frequency of 2093 Hz. On a certain piano the steel wire that produces this note has a cross-sectional area of 6.72 x 10-7 m². The wire is stretched between two pegs. When the piano is tuned properly to produce the correct frequency at 25.0 °C, the wire is under a tension of 877.4 N. Suppose the temperature drops to 20.0 °C. In addition, as an approximation, assume that the wire is kept from contracting as the temperature drops. Consequenctly, the tension in the wire changes. What beat frequency is produced when this piano and another instrument (properly tuned) sound the note simultaneously? Steel's coefficient of linear expansion is 12 x 10-6 (Cº)-1 and its Young's modulus is 2 x 1011¹ N/m².

The G string on a guitar is a 0.46 mm diameter steel string with a linear density of 1.3 g/m. When the string is properly tuned to 196 Hz, the wave speed of the string is 250 m/s.

Two identical piano wires have a fundamental frequency of 600 Hz when kept under the same tension. What percent increase in the tension of one wire will lead to a 9 beat frequency when both wires are vibrating simultaneously. Use beat frequency = higher frequency - lower frequency to find the new frequency. The wavelength stays the same so frequency will be proportional to wave speed. Use v = (T/μ)0.5to determine the required % increase in tension to increase the wave speed.
