Sometimes when the wind blows across a long wire a


Sometimes, when the wind blows across a long wire, a low-frequency "moaning" sound is produced. This sound arises because a standing wave is set up on the wire, like a standing wave on a guitar string. Suppose that a wire (linear density = 0.0140 kg/m) sustains a tension of 39.6 N because the wire is stretched among two poles that are 6.65 m apart. The lowest frequency that an average, healthy human ear can detect is 20.0 Hz. What is the lowest harmonic number n that could be responsible for the "moaning" sound?
