A string fixed at both ends has length \(1.20\ \text{m}\) and linear mass density \(0.005\ \text{kg·m}^{-1}\). When the tension in the string is \(T\), the fundamental frequency observed is \(120\ \text{Hz}\).\n(i) Determine the tension \(T\) in newtons (to three significant figures).\n(ii) If the tension is increased by 25 %, calculate the frequency of the third harmonic (to the nearest hertz).

Answer Options

A. T = 415 N; f₃ ≈ 420 Hz
B. T = 500 N; f₃ ≈ 403 Hz
Correct Answer C. T = 415 N; f₃ ≈ 403 Hz
D. T = 415 N; f₃ ≈ 360 Hz
Correct Answer
C
Correct Option:
T = 415 N; f₃ ≈ 403 Hz
