(a) Sketch the pattern of vibration of a wire when it vibrates at twice its fundamental frequency. Label a node and an antinode on your diagram.

(b) A horizontal string, rigidly held at its ends, is stretched between two points 0.80 m apart. The tension in the string is 130 N and its mass is 2.0 g. Calculate the mass per unit length of the string, the frequency of the fundamental mode of vibration of the string, and the speed at which a transverse wave travels along this string.
