The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to relate the fundamental frequencies of the original string and the three parts after it has been cut. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Fundamental Frequency**: The fundamental frequency \( n \) of a string is given by the formula: \[ n = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where \( L \) is the length of the string, \( T \) is the tension, and \( \mu \) is the mass per unit length. 2. **Cutting the String into Parts**: Let the original string of length \( L \) be cut into three parts with lengths \( L_1, L_2, \) and \( L_3 \). The fundamental frequencies of these parts are \( n_1, n_2, \) and \( n_3 \) respectively. 3. **Relating Lengths and Frequencies**: The fundamental frequency of each part can be expressed as: \[ n_1 = \frac{1}{2L_1} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}, \quad n_2 = \frac{1}{2L_2} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}}, \quad n_3 = \frac{1}{2L_3} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] From these equations, we can express the lengths in terms of the frequencies: \[ L_1 = \frac{T}{2\mu n_1^2}, \quad L_2 = \frac{T}{2\mu n_2^2}, \quad L_3 = \frac{T}{2\mu n_3^2} \] 4. **Total Length of the String**: The total length of the original string is: \[ L = L_1 + L_2 + L_3 \] Substituting the expressions for \( L_1, L_2, \) and \( L_3 \): \[ L = \frac{T}{2\mu n_1^2} + \frac{T}{2\mu n_2^2} + \frac{T}{2\mu n_3^2} \] 5. **Factoring Out Common Terms**: We can factor out \( \frac{T}{2\mu} \): \[ L = \frac{T}{2\mu} \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} + \frac{1}{n_2^2} + \frac{1}{n_3^2} \right) \] 6. **Relating Original Frequency to Parts**: The original frequency \( n \) can also be expressed in terms of the total length \( L \): \[ n = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] Substituting \( L \) from the previous step: \[ n = \frac{1}{2 \left( \frac{T}{2\mu} \left( \frac{1}{n_1^2} + \frac{1}{n_2^2} + \frac{1}{n_3^2} \right) \right)} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] 7. **Simplifying the Expression**: After simplification, we find: \[ \frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2} + \frac{1}{n_3} \] ### Conclusion: Thus, the relationship between the original fundamental frequency \( n \) and the frequencies \( n_1, n_2, n_3 \) of the cut parts is given by: \[ \frac{1}{n} = \frac{1}{n_1} + \frac{1}{n_2} + \frac{1}{n_3} \]

To solve the problem, we need to relate the fundamental frequencies of the original string and the three parts after it has been cut. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Fundamental Frequency**: The fundamental frequency \( n \) of a string is given by the formula: \[ n = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} ...
