Solution: The portion of the string of a certain musical

Chapter 15, Problem 15.45

(choose chapter or problem)

The portion of the string of a certain musical instrument between the bridge and upper end of the finger board (that part of the string that is free to vibrate) is 60.0 cm long, and this length of the string has mass 2.00 g. The string sounds an A4 note (440 Hz) when played. (a) Where must the player put a finger (what distance x from the bridge) to play a D5 note (587 Hz)? (See Fig. E15.45.) For both the A4 and D5 notes, the string vibrates in its fundamental mode. (b) Without retuning, is it possible to play a G4 note (392 Hz) on this string? Why or why not?
