A string 40.0 cm long of mass 8.50 g is fixed at both ends and is under a tension of 425 N. When this string is vibrating in its third OVERTONE, you observe that it causes a nearby pipe, open at both ends, to resonate in its third HARMONIC

The speed of sound in the room is 344 m/s.
(a) How long is the pipe?
(b) What is the fundamental frequency of the pipe?


(a) 0.730 m (b) 236 Hz
