Answer

$450\;\rm N$

Work Step by Step

The frequency of the wire is the same as the frequency of sound waves in the open-closed tube. And since the wire vibrates at its fundamental frequency while the sound wave it generates excites the second vibrational mode, $$f_{1,wire}=f_{3,sound}$$ where $m=3$ is the second vibrational mode for the open-closed tube. $$\dfrac{v_{wire}}{2L_{wire}}=\dfrac{3v_{air}}{4L_{tube}}$$ Recalling that $v_{wire}=\sqrt{T_s/\mu}$, so $$\dfrac{1}{ L_{wire}}\sqrt{\dfrac{T_s}{\mu}}=\dfrac{3v_{air}}{2L_{tube}}$$ $$ \sqrt{\dfrac{T_s}{\mu}}=\dfrac{3v_{air}L_{wire}}{2L_{tube}}$$ Multiplying both sides; $$ \dfrac{T_s}{\mu}=\left[\dfrac{3v_{air}L_{wire}}{2L_{tube}}\right]^2$$ Thus, $$ T_s=\mu\left[\dfrac{3v_{air}L_{wire}}{2L_{tube}}\right]^2$$ Plugging the known; $$ T_s=(20\times 10^{-3})\left[\dfrac{3(340)(0.25) }{2(0.85)}\right]^2$$ $$T_s=\color{red}{\bf 450}\;\rm N$$
