In the arrangement shown below, an object can be hung from a string (with linear mass density µ = 0.002 kg/m) that passes over a light pulley. The string is connected to a vibrator (of constant frequency f), and the length of the string between point P and the pulley is L = 2 m. When the mass m of the object is either 16 kg or 25 kg, standing waves are observed; no standing waves are observed with any mass between these values, however. L Vibrator P (a) What is the frequency of the vibrator? Note: The greater the tension in the string, the smaller the umber of nodes in the standing wave. (b) What is the largest object mass for which standing waves could be observed?
