Problem

A steel guitar string is to be tuned so that its third harmonic is 300 Hz300\,\text{Hz}. The string has a linear mass density of 2.0×10−3 kg m−12.0\times10^{-3}\,\text{kg m}^{-1} and is maintained under a tension of 180 N180\,\text{N}. Determine the required length of the vibrating segment of the string.
