The portion of the string of a certain musical instrument between the bridge and upper end of the finger board (that part of the string that is free to vibrate) is 60.0 cm long, and this length of the string has mass 2.00 g. The string sounds an A. note (440 Hz) when played.
(a) Where must the player put a finger (what distance x from bridge) to play a D5 note (587 Hz)? (See Fig. 15.36.) For both the A. and Ds notes, the string vibrates in its fundamental mode.
(b) Without retuning, is it possible to playa 0, note (392 Hz) on this string? Why or why not?
