(a) Explanation Given information: The mass of the string is 4.80 g , the length of the string is 2.0 m , tension in the string is 48.0 N and the string is vibrates in its second n = 2 mode. Formula to calculate the linear mass density is, μ = m L μ is the linear mass density of the string. m is the mass of the string. L is the length of the string. Formula to calculate the speed of the wave in the string is, v st = T μ v st is the speed of the wave in the string. T is the tension in the wire. Substitute m L for μ in the above equation. v st = T m L = T L m Substitute 48.0 N for T , 4 (b) To determine The ratio of the wavelength in air of the sound emitted by vibrating string and the wavelength of the wave on the string.

In general it is best to conceptualize vectors as arrows in space, and then to make calculations with them using their components. (You must first specify a coordinate system in order to find the components of each arrow.) This problem gives you some practice with the components. Let vectors A = (1,0, −3), B = (-2, 5, 1), and C = (3,1,1). Calculate the following, and express your answers as ordered triplets of values separated by commas.
