The frequency of the nth-harmonic of a standing wave is an integer multiple of the fundamental frequency of the string, according to:
f_n = nf_1 (1)
where f_1 is the fundamental frequency.

We know the frequency of the 4th overtone (44 kHz), which corresponds to the 5th harmonic (n=5). Therefore, we can find the fundamental frequency of the string by rearranging equation (1):
f_1 =  \frac{f_5}{5}= \frac{44 kHz}{5}=8.8 kHz

And by using the same formula we can find the following harmonics:
f_2 = 2 f_1 = 2 \cdot 8.8 kHz =17.6 kHz
f_3 = 3f_1 = 3 \cdot 8.8 kHz =26.4 kHz
f_4 = 4 f_1 = 4 \cdot 8.8 kHz =35.2 kHz

And since the audible range for human goes from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, we see that onlyt the first two harmonics (8.8 kHz and 17.6 kHz) will be audible to a human.

The main difference between a chest and a bounce pass is what?
snow_lady [41]

Answer: The main difference between the three is the mode of transmission. The chest pass is straight through the air towards your teammate. While the bounce pass is directed toward the ground and then at your teammate. Finally, the overhead pass is projected high in the air to avoid defenders.

What is the relation between the gravitational force acting between any two bodies object with their masses and the distance bet
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

The strength of the gravitational force between two objects depends on two factors, mass and distance. the force of gravity the masses exert on each other. ... increases, the force of gravity decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is one-fourth as strong as before.
