Find the frequency (in Hz) of this harmonic if the string has a mass of 2.85 ✕ 10−2 kg and a tension of 855 N.
A string is fixed at both ends and vibrating at 130 Hz, which is its third harmonic frequency. The linear density of the string is 4.9x10-3 kg/m, and it is under a tension of 2.4 N. Determine the length of the string.
