Find through dimensional analysis a formula that describes how the fundamental frequency of vibration in a string f depends on the length of the string l the tensile force in the string T and the length of the string length density which is the mass of the string per unit length. F is the frequency in hertz Hz or cycles per second. A 2 440 2 2412 110 Hz 6.
If the length or tension of the string is correctly adjusted the sound produced is a musical note.
Any proportionality constant k is assumed to be dimensionless. Vibrating strings are the basis of string instruments such as guitars cellos and pianos. Resonance causes a vibrating string to produce a sound with constant frequency ie. B 3 440 2 1012 246942 Hz 3.
