A string on a musical instrument is held under tension T and extends from the point x=0 to the point x = L. The string is overwound with wire in such a way that its mass per unit length µ(x) increases uniformly from µ 0 at x = 0 to µ L at x=L. (a) Find an expression for µ(x) as a function of x over the range 0≤x≤L. (b) Find an expression for the time interval required for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the string.

A string attached to an oscillator at one end forms 5 nodes (counting the two ends) and produces a frequency of ν = 3.5 kHz. The string is L = 0.95 m long and is under a tension of T = 297 N.   What is the linear density of the string, in kilograms per meter?
