2. One end of a string is attached to a device that vibrates at the fundamental frequency of the string \( f_{a}=220\mathrm{~Hz}\). This produces transverse waves in the string at the same frequency. The other end of the string passes over a pulley, and the tension can be varied by attaching weights to this end. The string has approximate nodes next to both the vibrating device and the pulley.
(a) If the string has a linear mass density of \(\rho=1.4\mathrm{~g}/\mathrm{m}\) and is \( L=6.5\mathrm{~m}\) long from the vibrating device to the pulley, what must be the tension in the string to vibrate in its fundamental mode?
(b) Find the tension necessary for the string to vibrate in its second, third and fourth harmonics?
(c) Draw the first three harmonics.
