Two identical guitar strings have identical tensions of 80.0 N and produce fundamental frequencies of A = 110 Hz. If the tension of one string drops by 2.0 N, what is the difference in frequency (in Hz) of the fundamental frequency produced by the two strings?

Question

Two identical guitar strings have identical tensions of 80.0 N and produce fundamental frequencies of A = 110 Hz. If the tension of one string drops by 2.0 N, what is the difference in frequency (in Hz) of the fundamental frequency produced by the two strings?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Given data

*The given tension of two identical guitar strings is T = 80.0 N

*The given fundamental frequency is A = 110 Hz

*The tension in one string drops by T1 = = T - 2.0 N = 80.0 - 2.0 N = 78.0 N
