One end of a string is attached to a rigid wall on a tabletop. The string is run over a frictionless pulley andthe other end of the string is attached to a stationary hanging mass. The distance between the wall and thepulley is 0.781 meters, When the mass on the hook is 35.5 kg, the horizontal portion of the string oscillateswith a fundamental frequency of 261.6 Hz (the same frequency as the middle C note on a piano). Calculatethe linear mass density of the string.
