Detailed Solution

Comparing the given equation with the standing wave equation

y(x,t)=2asin(kx)cos(ωt)

we get 

k=62.82πλ=62.8λ=2×3.1462.8=0.1m

and ω=6282πv=628v=6282×3.14

=100Hz

Since the string is vibrating it the fifth harmonic, the number of nodes= 6. (see figure) 

5λ2=L(L= length of string )L=5×0.12=0.25m

Question Image

There is an antinode at the mid-point of the string where y is maximum. From the given equation

ymax=0.01m

Fundamental frequenty v0=v2L=vλ2L=100×0.12×0.25

=20Hz
