Homework Statement
This is a prelab question which I hope for some confirmation I'm thinking right.
A vibrating string is vibrating in the fundamental mode. The question is to plot a graph with a succession of applied tensions T on the x-axis and the resultant length L of the fundamental vibration mode on the y-axis
Homework Equations
Formula I have is L^2 = T/4μƒ^2
The Attempt at a Solution
Im thinking that all its asking is to plot a function like y=mx+c where 1/4μƒ^2 is the gradient?
Something of the sort, then ill go on to calculate the linear mass density (μ), do some calculations plot L^2 against T and find this gradient and find the frequency...
Oh and sid
