Answer

The fundamental frequency of the string is $17,300~Hz$

Work Step by Step

We can find the wave speed along the string: $v = \sqrt{\frac{Y}{\rho}}$ $v = \sqrt{\frac{9.0\times 10^{10}~Pa}{8500~kg/m^3}}$ $v = 3254~m/s$ We can find the fundamental frequency: $f = \frac{v}{\lambda}$ $f = \frac{v}{2L}$ $f = \frac{3254~m/s}{(2)(0.094~m)}$ $f = 17,300~Hz$ The fundamental frequency of the string is $17,300~Hz$.
