Answer

(a) $101Hz$ (b) $1.70m$

Work Step by Step

(a) The fundamental frequency of the pipe is given as $f_n=nf_1$ This can be rearranged as: $f_1=\frac{f_n}{n}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $f_1=\frac{202}{2}=101Hz$ (b) The length of the pipe can be determined as $f_1=\frac{v}{2L}$ This can be rearranged as: $L=\frac{v}{2f_1}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $L=\frac{343}{2(101)}=1.70m$
