Answer

There are four different positions.

Work Step by Step

We can find the lengths of a half-open pipe which will produce a resonant frequency: $f = \frac{nv}{4L},~~$ where $~~n = 1,3,5,...$ $L = \frac{nv}{4f},~~$ where $~~n = 1,3,5,...$ $L = \frac{(n)(343~m/s)}{(4)(686~Hz)},~~$ where $~~n = 1,3,5,...$ $L = \frac{n}{8},~~$ where $~~n = 1,3,5,...$ $L = \frac{1}{8}~m,\frac{3}{8}~m,\frac{5}{8}~m,\frac{7}{8}~m,...$ There are four different positions.
