A violin string which is 30.4 cm long is tuned so that its pitch isconcert A which is 440Hz. I can effectively shorten the string byplacing my finger on it and pressing it down. How far from the endof the string should i put my finger if i want the pitch of thenote to be 501 Hz? (give the distance from the end where the woodentuning pegs are located) Assume the tension remains the same.
