You are continuing to investigate the sounds that you can make from your roommate's guitar, as described in the opening storyline. You decide to take some data. One particular string is of length 62.1 cm and plays a note with a fundamental frequency of 247 Hz when it is allowed to vibrate freely along its entire length. You now press the string down strongly against a fret that is ocated 20.7 cm from the end of the string by the tuning pins. You pluck the string and use a smartphone app to measure the undamental frequency fret of the sound. Next, you touch your finger lightly at the same position as before, a technique that will result in the string playing what guitarists call a "harmonic." You pluck the string and use the smartphone app to measure the requency fouch of the sound. What are the frequencies fret and frouch (in Hz)?

Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.67 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 369 Hz. What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings?
The G string on a guitar is 54 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. A guitarist can play different notes by pushing the string against various frets, which changes the string's length. The seventh fret from the neck gives D (293.66 Hz); the eighth fret gives E♭(311.13 Hz). How far apart are the seventh and eighth frets?
A string has a length of 2.50 m and is fixed at the ends. At a frequency of 85.0 Hz, a standing wave with 5 loops is formed. What is the wavelength of the wave when it is vibrating at the fundamental frequency of the wave? What is the fundamental frequency of the wave? At what frequency would the third overtone occur?
A string of a certain musical instrument is 60.0 cm long (from bridge to upper end of the fingerboard) and has a mass of 2.00 g. The string is tuned to an A4 note (440 Hz) when played. Where must a player put a finger ( at what distance from the bridge) to play a D5 note (587 Hz)? For both notes, the string vibrates in its fundamental mode. Without retuning, is it possible to play a G4 note (392 Hz) on this string? Why or why not?
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?
Problem 2: On a violin, the string with the smallest linear density (0.00042 kg/m) is the E5 string. The string produces a fundamental frequency (n = 1) of 659.3 Hz and has a length of 0.32 m between the two fixed ends. What is the tension in the string?
Suppose the strings on a violin are stretched with the same tension and each has the same length between its two fixed ends. The musical notes and corresponding fundamental frequencies of two of these strings are G (196.0 Hz) and E (659.3 Hz). The linear density of the E string is 7.74 x 10-4 kg/m. What is the linear density of the G string?
Two identical guitar strings are prepared such that they have the same length (0.68) and are under the same amount of tension. The first string is plucked at one location, primarily exciting the first harmonic. The other string is plucked in a different location, primarily exciting the fourth harmonic. The resulting sounds give rise to a beat frequency of 324Hz. What is the wave propagation speed on the guitar strings? wave propagation speed: m/s
A 0.717 gram guitar string is 0.629 m long. The string is under a tension of 73.9 N.(a) What are the fundamental frequency and the third harmonics frequency? (b)What are their wavelengths?
A guitar with strings of length L = 0.55 m has new strings put on it. The low E string has a linear density of ρ = 0.0062 kg/m and when tuned properly should produce a fundamental tone of ν = 82.41 Hz. L=0.55 m p= 0.0062 kg/m A: What is the proper tension the string should be under, in Newtons? B: If the string was mistakenly tuned to high E (ν = 330 Hz) what would the tension be, in Newtons?
The g string in a violine is 30cm long. The tension on the G string is 90N. when playing without fingering. It vibrates at a frequency f 196 hertz (assuming that it vibrates in its fundamental). The next higher notes on the C-major scale are A (220Hz) and b (247Hz) What is the mass per meter (mass density) of the G-string How far from the end of the string must a finger be placed to play the A note.
