Determining the Hanging Mass Needed to Establish Standing Waves from a Mechanical Oscillator 📊

In this video, I dive into problem 55, which involves analyzing a horizontal string attached to a mechanical oscillator. We explore how to calculate the mass needed to produce different loops of standing waves, using the string's mass per unit length and the tension in the string. Please take a moment to try this problem on your own before comparing efforts. Giancoli Physics, AP Edition, 7th Edition, Chapter 11, Problem 55
