Chapter 18, Problem 18.22P
The 64.0-cm-long string of a guitar has a fundamental frequency of 330 Hz when it vibrates freely along its entire length. A fret is provided for limiting vibration to just the lower two-thirds of the string. (a) If the string is pressed down at this fret and plucked, what is the new fundamental frequency? (b) What If? The guitarist can play a “natural harmonic” by gently touching the string at the location of this fret and plucking the string at about one-sixth of the way along its length from the other end. What frequency will be heard then?

The overall length of a piccolo is 32.0 cm. The resonating air column vibrates as in a pipe that is open at both ends. (a) Find the frequency of the lowest note a piccolo can play. (b) Opening holes in the side effectively shortens the length of the resonant column. If the highest note a piccolo can sound is 4.00 x 103 Hz, find the distance between adjacent antinodes for this mode of vibration.
A string of length L = 1.20 m is fixed at both ends and is stretched with a tension
provided by a weight of 1.763 kg. If the mass per unit length of the string is 0.0012 kg/m,
what will be the fundamental frequency of the vibration of the string?
The above string is now made to vibrate at the same frequency by adjusting its tension,
but in its third harmonic. What is the new tension on the string?
(3) The lowest note on a piano (the first harmonic vibration) is the "A" note, which has a frequency of 27.5
Hz. The entire string is 2.0 m long and has a mass of 402 g. The vibrating section of the string is 1.89 m
long.
