A string with a mass density mu = 6.40e-03 kg/m is under a tension of F = 259 N and is fixed at both ends. One of its resonance
frequencies is 622.0 Hz. The next higher resonance frequency is 777.5 Hz. What is the fundamental frequency of this string?

What is the length of the string?
Now, suppose the same string is detached at one end and connected by a ring to a frictionless post, so that it can move freely. Find the
wavelength of the first (fundamental) harmonic.
What is the frequency of the third (n = 3) harmonic in this case?
The G string of a guitar has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz.
