A piano wire weighing 6.00 g and having a length of 90.0 cm...
A piano wire weighing and having a length of produces a fundamental frequency corresponding to "Middle C" (). Determine the tension in the wire.
Options
- A
- B
- C
- D
Correct answer
D.
Step-by-step solution
Mass of the wire,
Length of the wire,
Fundamental frequency,
The fundamental frequency of a stretched string is given by:
where is the linear mass density.
Squaring both sides and rearranging for tension :
Substituting the given values:
Rounding off to three significant figures, we get:
