Answer:

the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

length of the copper wire, L = 1 m

mass per unit length of the copper wire, μ = 0.0014 kg/m

tension on the wire, T = 27 N

number of segments, n = 2

The frequency of this mode of vibration is calculated as;


F_n = (n)/(2L) \sqrt{(T)/(\mu) } \\\\F_2 = (2)/(2* 1) \sqrt{(27)/(0.0014) }\\\\F_2 = 138.87 \ Hz

Therefore, the frequency of this mode of vibration is 138.87 Hz
