Answer

$x_1=0.042m$ $x_2=0.0818m$ $x_3=0.119m$ $x_4=0.155m$ $x_5=0.188m$ $x_6=0.220m$

Work Step by Step

For all frequencies, the velocity is constant. Frequency of the unfingered string is $f=v\lambda$ $\lambda=2l$ $\frac{f_u}{f_1}=2^{\frac{1}{12}}=\frac{v\lambda_u}{v\lambda_1}=\frac{2l_u}{2l_1}$ $l_1=\frac{l_u}{2^{\frac{1}{12}}}=\frac{0.75m}{2^{\frac{1}{12}}}=0.708m$ $x_1=0.042m$ $l_2=\frac{l_1}{2^{\frac{1}{12}}}=0.668m$ $x_2=0.0818m$ $l_3=\frac{l_2}{2^{\frac{1}{12}}}=0.631m$ $x_3=0.119m$ $l_4=\frac{l_3}{2^{\frac{1}{12}}}=0.595m$ $x_4=0.155m$ $l_5=\frac{l_1}{2^{\frac{1}{12}}}=0.562m$ $x_5=0.188m$ $l_6=\frac{l_1}{2^{\frac{1}{12}}}=0.530m$ $x_6=0.220m$
