The formula to calculate the fundamental frequency of a closed-open pipe is:

f1 = v/4L

where v is the speed of sound and L is the length of the pipe.

Rearranging the formula, we get:

L = v/4f1

Substituting the given values, we get:

L = (340 m/s)/(4 × 0.060 kHz) = 1.42 m

Therefore, the length of the shortest pipe closed on one end and open at the other end that will have a fundamental frequency of 0.060 kHz on a day when the speed of sound is 340 m/s is 1.42 m.
