A thin, taut string tied at both ends and oscillating in its third harmonic has its shape described by the equation: y(x,t)=(5.89 cm) sin[(0.0340 rad/cm)x] sin[(50.4 rad/s)t], where the origin is at the left end of the string, the x-axis is along the string, and the y-axis is perpendicular to the string. What is the length of the string?
