Homework Statement
A vibrating string on a violin is 330 mm long and has a fundamental frequency of 659 Hz. What is its fundamental frequency when the string is pressed against the fingerboard at a point 60 mm from its end?
*The answer is 805 Hz
Homework Equations
f = [tex]\overline{}nv[/tex]/2L
wavelength = v/f
The Attempt at a Solution
I don't understand what to do with the 60mm. It splits the string into 2 unequal parts, which isn't a harmonic I recognize.
