Homework: Waves and Sound

Here is a homework assignment on waves and sound which is due next Friday (Feb 20). It includes 9 book problems and 2 other problems which are as follows:

Chapter 19: Problems 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 7
Ch 20: Problem 1
Ch 21: Problems 3 and 5

For a string fixed between two posts how does the wave spend depend on tension, mass density (kg/meter) and length?

For a string fixed between two posts how would the frequency of the fundamental mode change if you shorten the length by a factor of two and keep everything else (tension, mass density, wave speed) the same?
