A guitar string is 90 cm long and has a mass of 3.6 g. From the bridge to the support post (= L) is 60 cm, and the string is under a tension of 520 N.
What is the frequency of the fundamental and the first and second overtone???? :eek:

if 90 cm of the string is 3.6 g, how much does 60 cm weigh? Do you have any formulas that involve strings that may help you solve this?

You could try string theory. :rofl:

Sorry, that won't happen again. I would just use a differential equation.
