1) How to find the 1st fundamental frequency of the cable (in rad/s) if the length is 1 m and the velocity of the wave propagation is 300 m/s with the data given above?

A cable is fixed at one end and and the other is connected to a pin that can move in a frictionless slot (free). Find the 1st fundamental frequency of the cable (in rad/s if the length is 1 m and the velocity of the wave propagation is 300 m/s. Round up your answer to the next integer. Answer:

Solution

frequency (rad/s) = velocity/length of cable

= 300/1

= 300 rad/sec
