Question

in sound and harmonics, the frequency of a vibrating string varies inversely to its length. A guitar string 20 inches long vibrates at a frequency of 400 cycles per second. Find the frequency of a 35- inch string.

Answer 1

20 inches is 400
10 inches is 200
5 iches is 100

So 20+10+5=35
Which means 400+200+100= 700

So the frequency of a 35 inch string is 700 cycles per second
