Two wires are anchored at both ends. Wire 1 has a mass of 105 grams and a length of 6.9 m. Wire 2 has a mass of 60 grams, a length of 20 m, and a tension of 143 N. What must be the tension in Wire 1 if its third harmonic is to equal the first overtone of Wire 2?

T_{wire1} =

YOu are given mass/length. You are given half wavlength length of 6.9m, and 20 m.

wire 1 has a third harmonic wavelength of 30 m. First overtone of wire2 has a wavlength of 2*6.9m
but what is the tension of the wire
