What I want to somehow get is the most general result with restrictions
over k. That is:
{y''[x] == k y[x], y[0] == 0, y[10] == 0} /. {
y -> (Sin[2 Pi p/20 #] &),
k -> -(1/100) p^2 \[Pi]^2 }
Out: {True, True, Sin[p \[Pi]] == 0}
Simplify[%, p \[Element] Integers]
{True, True, True}
...or any linear combination of those solutions. Typical 10m rope tied on
the extremes
