Detailed Solution

Since, maximum kinetic energy of a particle performing SHM is equal to its oscillation energy, therefore, maximum kinetic energy of the string in its fundamental tone.
 =a02π2T4l
First Overtone
Frequency,  n1=vλ1=1λTm
Considering an elemental length dx of string at a distance x from left end, its mass = mdx
Its oscillation energy =12(mdx)a02.sin2(2πxl)(2πn1)2
 =2π2a02Tt2sin2(2πxl).dx
  Total oscillation energy of the string =2π2a02Tt20lsin2(2πxl).dx
or maximum kinetic energy of string in its first overtone  a02π2Tl
