A string with mass per unit length
g/m is stretched between
a 60 Hz oscillator and a clamp 1.5 meters away. The string is under a
tension
produced by a weight suspended from the string as
shown (you may use
m/sec
if you wish).
a) What must mass
be to drive a resonance with the standing wave
pattern shown above?
b) What is the velocity of waves in the string at that time?
c) If the mass
from part a) is left unchanged on the string, what
frequency
must the oscillator be changed to to excite the
fundamental harmonic?
