Two strings have different lengths and linear densities, as the drawing shows. They are joined together and stretched so that the tension in each string is 161 N. The free ends of the joined string are fixed in place. Find the lowest frequency that permits standing waves in both strings with a node at the junction. The standing wave pattern in each string may have a different number of loops.
