A stretched string is 120 cm long and has a linear density of 0.022 g/cm. What tension in the string will result in a second harmonic of 590 Hz

T = 15,576 N

Explanation:

The speed of a wave on a string is given by

        v = √ T /ρ rho

also the speed of the wave is given by the relationship

       v = λ f

we substitute

     λ f = √ T /ρ

T = (lam f)² ρ

let's find the wavelength in a string, fixed at the ends, the relation that gives the wavelength is

       L= λ/2 n

       λ= 2L / n

we substitute

      T = (2L / n f)²ρ rho

let's calculate

      T = (2 1.20 / 2 590) 0.022

      T = 15,576 N
