A horizontal wire is tied to supports at each end and vibrates in its second-overtone standing wave. The tension in the wire is 5.00 N, and the node-to-node distance in the standing wave is 6.28 cm. (a) What is the length of the wire? (b) A point at an anti-node of the standing wave on the wire travels from its maximum upward displacement to its maximum downward displacement in 8.40 ms. What is the wire’s mass?

A string is connected to an oscillator and then laid horizontally, with the other end draped over a pulley and a mass of 200g is hung from that end. The string is found to have a mass of 15g and a length of 1.2m. The oscillator is turned on and the frequency is tuned until a standing wave is seen. You see 6 full wavelengths along the 1.2m length of the string. The oscillator frequency is set to 63Hz.
What is the speed of the wave on the string based on your measurements?
Give your answer in m/s and to 1 decimal place.
A string is strung horizontally with a fixed tension. A wave of frequency 60.0 Hz is sent along the string, and it has a wave speed of 58.4 m/s. Then a second wave, one of frequency 120 Hz, is sent along the string. What is the wave speed of the second wave?
A guitar string has an overall length of 2.0 m and a total mass of 35.2 g before it is strung on a guitar. Once on the guitar, however, there is a distance of 85 cm between its fixed end points. It is tightened to a tension of 345 N. (a) What is wave speed for waves on the tightened string? (b) What are the wavelength and frequency of the traveling waves that interfere to form the fundamental and second harmonic standing waves on the string? Sketch standing wave patterns of both harmonic in this string.
