Solids/waves, frequency of a bar

A uniform metal rod of length 1m is clamped at two points 5 cm from one end and 15 cm from the other end. The possible frequencies of the natural oscillations (longitudinal) of the rod can be (Y=1.6×1011 N/m2, ρ=2500 kg/m3)

i used f = nv/2l, v = sqrt(Y/rho) and got f = 5000n i considered length as 0.8 however, all the options satisfy f = 5000n

did u try using length as 1m
Nimboi [ping if answering]
and the correct answer is 40kHz, 120kHz gives 4000n and multiple options satisfy that too

hm weird

the reason im not posting the options is because mathongo plasters your name and email all over the question so you cant pirate them ill just type them out

theres a trick for that, bookmark that question then go to the bookmarked section, it will be completely blue bg

Okay, since there are the 2 free ends, shouldn't they also be anti-nodes? That and the clamped ends should be nodes gives you some extra constraint.
