Problem

An adjustable pipe open at both ends is initially 0.80 m long. A second pipe, 0.30 m long and closed at one end, is sounded at its fundamental frequency. By how much must the open pipe be lengthened so that its first overtone matches the pitch of the closed pipe? Assume the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.
