Answer:

There is no answer, since a closed-pipe resonator can NOT have a second harmonic. However, if you were to plug the pipe length and the speed of sound into the closed-pipe equation anyway you would get 49.56 as your fundamental frequency, which means that 99.13 would be your "plug and play" 2nd harmonic.
