Problem

The second harmonic of a stretched string has the same frequency as the fundamental of an open organ pipe 100 cm long. If the speed of waves on the string is 160 m s−1^{-1} and the speed of sound in air is 320 m s−1^{-1}, what is the length of the string? (a) 50 cm50\ \text{cm} (b) 25 cm25\ \text{cm} (c) 100 cm100\ \text{cm} (d) 150 cm150\ \text{cm}
