The discussion revolves around determining the frequency of a fingered violin string, given its fundamental frequency of 294 Hz when unfingered. Participants explore how to approach the problem without directly measuring the length of the string at the fingered position.
The discussion is active, with participants providing hints and exploring different interpretations of the problem. There is no explicit consensus on the approach, but some guidance has been offered regarding the use of variables and the relationship between frequency and length.
Participants are working under the constraint of not having the specific length of the string at the fingered position, which raises questions about the assumptions necessary to solve the problem.
Why do you think you need to know? Have you considered just calling the length L, and seeing if you can do the problem?needhelp83 said:How do I determine this w/o length of how far 1/3 of violin string is?
