Where F is the tension in the string and µ is the linear density (mass per length) of the string.
A violin string vibrates at the fundamental frequency of 512 Hz under the tension of 480 N.
What should be the tension in the string to achieve a fundamental frequency of 460 Hz?
A. 523 N
B. 491 N
C. 431 N
D. 387 N
E. 570 N
Is this C?
M= 460/512= 0.8984375 , For magnification
√T=0.8984375
T= 0.807N , By multiplying the magnification
T= 512*0.807= 413.3N
1 answer
Yes. The answer is C.
