Chapter , Problem 62(choose chapter or problem)
On a cello, like most other stringed instruments, the positioning of the fingers by the player determines the fundamental frequencies of the strings. Suppose that one of the strings on a cello is tuned to play a middle C (262 Hz) when played at its full length. By what fraction must that string be shortened in order to play a note that is the interval of a third higher (namely, an E (330 Hz)? How about a fifth higher or a G (392 Hz)?
