I am having trouble with this problem and i'm wondering if the formula i'm using is right.

A stretched string is 150 cm long and has a linear density of 0.01 g/cm. what tension in the stirng will result in a second harmonic of 530 hz? Answer in units of N.

According to my book it says for second harmonic use L= 2(^2/2) the ^ represents wavelength.
