Exercise 90

You are setting up two standing string waves. You have a length of uniform piano wire that is 3.0 m long and has a mass of 0.150 kg. You cut this into two lengths, one of 1.0 m and the other of 2.0 m, and place each length under tension. What should be the ratio of tensions (expressed as short to long) so that their fundamental frequencies are the same
