A simple instrument with two strings S1 and S2 is shown in the figure. Both strings have the same tension T and length L, but the strings have different masses to play two different notes. In its fundamental mode, string S1 has a mass of 4.43 g and its fundamental frequency f1 = 263 Hz (the musical note middle C). What is the fundamental frequency of string S2 if it has a mass m = 8.98 g? Give your answer in units of Hz.

Seiche
A seiche is an oscillating standing wave in a body of water. The term seiche pronounced saysh) can be understood by the sloshing of water back and forth in a swimming pool. The same phenomenon happens on a much larger scale in vast bodies of water including bays and lakes. A seizure can happen in any enclosed or semi-enclosed body of water.
