17.6 Exercise 11

Avg difficulty 2.5

A string with a linear mass density of μ=0.0062kg/m\mu = 0.0062 \text{kg}/\text{m} is stretched between two posts 1.30 m apart. The tension in the string is 150.00 N. The string oscillates and produces a sound wave. A 1024-Hz tuning fork is struck and the beat frequency between the two sources is 52.83 Hz. What are the possible frequency and wavelength of the wave on the string?
