A nylon guitar string has a linear density of 7.20 g/m and is under a tension of 180 N. The fixed supports are distance D =90.0 cm apart. The string is oscillating in the standing wave pattern shown in Fig. 16-42. Calculate the (a) speed, (b) wavelength, and (c) frequency of the traveling waves whose superposition gives this standing wave.

Answer

`(a) 158 m//s=1.58 xx 10^(2) m//s; (b) 60.0 cm; (c) 264 Hz`
