Explanation / Answer

The fudamental frequency is given by             f = (1/(2l))((TL)/m) Here m = 3.6*10^-3 kg         T = 501 N        L = 0.80m         l = 0.60 m Substitute the values for f. The frequency of the first overtone is              f1 = 2f The frequency of the second overtone is           f2 =3f Substitute the values.
