Pressing the E-string down on the fret board just above the second fret pinches

Question

Pressing the E-string down on the fret board just above the second fret pinches the string firmly against the fret, giving an F sharp, which has a frequency of 3.70 Times 10^2 Hz. Where should the second fret be located? from the nut = cm from the first fret = cm Note that the distance from the first to the second fret isn't the same as from the nut to the first fret. Find two locations where you could touch the open E-string and hear the third harmonic. from the nut (smaller) = cm from the nut (larger) = cm

Explanation / Answer

Here, distance = speed in string/frequency

a)   second fret located = 3.2 cm

     from first nut = 2.51 cm

b) from the nut smaller =    6.2   cm

      from the nut larger =    7.34 cm
