To solve the problem of determining the highest overtone that a man of normal hearing capacity can detect for a string of length 25 cm stretched by a load of 10 kg, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Determine the Tension in the String The tension \( T \) in the string can be calculated using the formula: \[ T = mg \] where \( m \) is the mass (10 kg) and \( g \) is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately \( 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2 \)). ...
