a. In the figure below, a string is tied to a sinusoidal oscillator at P and runs over a rigid support at Q, and is stretched by a block of mass m. The separation L - 1.77 m, the linear mu = 16 g/m, and the oscillator frequency f = 125 Hz. The amplitude of the motion at P is small enough for that point to be considered a node. A node also exists at Q. If m = 2.000...
