Question

A harpsichord string of length 1.60 m andlinear mass density 26.0 mg/m vibrates ata (fundamental) frequency of 460.0 Hz. (a) What is the speed of the transverse stringwaves?
m/s

(b) What is the tension?
N

(c) What are the wavelength and frequency of the sound wave in airproduced by vibration of the string? The speed of sound in air atroom temperature is 340 m/s.

Explanation / Answer

Length L = 1.6 m

Mass density m = 26 mg / m

                          = 0.026 g / m = 0.026 * 10 ^ -3 kg / m

                          = 26 * 10 ^ -6 kg / m
