(a) first two overtones for each string:
The first string has a fundamental frequency of 196 Hz. The n-th overtone corresponds to the (n+1)-th harmonic, which can be found by using
where f1 is the fundamental frequency.
So, the first overtone (2nd harmonic) of the string is
while the second overtone (3rd harmonic) is
Similarly, for the second string with fundamental frequency
, the first overtone is
and the second overtone is
(b) The fundamental frequency of a string is given by
where L is the string length, T the tension, and
is the mass per unit of length. This part of the problem says that the tension T and the length L of the string are the same, while the masses are different (let's calle them 
, the mass of the string of frequency 196 Hz, and 
, the mass of the string of frequency 523 Hz.
The ratio between the fundamental frequencies of the two strings is therefore:
and since L and T simplify in the equation, we can find the ratio between the two masses:
(c) Now the tension T and the mass per unit of length
is the same for the strings, while the lengths are different (let's call them 
and 
). Let's write again the ratio between the two fundamental frequencies
And since T and simplify, we get the ratio between the two lengths:
(d) Now the masses m and the lenghts L are the same, while the tensions are different (let's call them
and 
. Let's write again the ratio of the frequencies:
Now m and L simplify, and we get the ratio between the two tensions:
