$A$ pipe open at one end has a length of $0.8 \text{ m}$. At the open end of the tube, a string $0.5 \text{ m}$ long is vibrating in its first overtone and resonates with the fundamental frequency of the pipe. If the tension in the string is $50 \text{ N}$, what is the mass of the string (in $\text{ g}$)? (Neglect end correction, Speed of sound = $320 \text{ m/s}$)
