Answer:
Explanation:
We know that the frequency of the nth harmonic is given by , where
is the fundamental harmonic. Since we have the values of two consecutive frequencies, we can do:
Which for our values means (we do not need the value of <em>n</em>, that is, which harmonics are the frequencies given):
Now we turn to the formula for the vibration frequency of a string (for the fundamental harmonic):
So the tension is:
Which for our values is:
