A guitar string 60 cm in length, with a diameter of 1.4 mm and a tension of 289 N, emits a note with a frequence of 147 Hz. Find the frequency in each of the followig situations:
a)the tension isreduced to 196N
b)a string of the same material, 45 cm long and 1mm in diameter under 168 N of tension, is plucked.
I have no idea for a, but I was hoping someone could check my work on b?
=Fi(square root of tension fraction)(length fraction)(diameter fraction)
=147Hz(square root of 169/289)(60/45)(1.4/1)
=209.8Hz
I am just getting confused as to if the 289 goes on top of the fraction, or the 169.
thanks for your help in advance!
