Hi there!
We can use the following equation to find the frequency of each harmonic:
[tex]f_n = \frac{n}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\lambda}}[/tex]
n = nth harmonic
L = length of string (m)
T = Tension of string (N)
λ = linear density (kg/m)
Begin by converting the linear mass density to kg:
2.00g /m · 1 kg / 1000g = 0.002 kg/m
Now, we can use the equation to find the first three harmonics.
First harmonic:
[tex]f_1 = \frac{1}{2(0.6)} \sqrt{\frac{50}{0.002}} = \boxed{131.76 Hz}[/tex]
Second harmonic:
[tex]f_2 = \frac{2}{2(0.6)} \sqrt{\frac{50}{0.002}} = \boxed{263.52Hz}[/tex]
Third harmonic:
[tex]f_3 = \frac{3}{2(0.6)} \sqrt{\frac{50}{0.002}} = \boxed{395.28Hz}[/tex]
