Chapter 15, Problem 15.69P
A uniform cylindrical steel wire, 55.0 cm long and 1.14 nun in diameter, is fixed at both ends. To what tension must it be adjusted so that, when vibrating in its first overtone, it produces the note D-sharp of frequency 311 Hz? Assume that it stretches an insignificant amount.
