Problem

A guitar string of length 0.65 m0.65\,\text{m} has a mass per unit length of 4.0 g m−14.0\,\text{g}\,\text{m}^{-1}. The tension in the string is adjusted to 90 N90\,\text{N}. (i) Calculate the speed of transverse waves on the string. (ii) Determine the fundamental frequency produced by the string. (iii) Find the frequency of the third harmonic of the same string under the same conditions.
