HELP: Solving for equation of linear mass density of a string
You will plot frequency vs. number of segments and determine a slope. Write the expression which will allow you to solve for the linear mass density of the string in terms of L, T, and the slope of your plot
1) μ=M/L
2) T=2∏√(m/k) ?
3) λ=2L/n
4) df/dn=?
5) k=2∏/λ
So what I've done is take equation 2 solve for m which is m=(T/2∏)2*k, with substitution from equation 5, then substitution from equation 3 to get the equation:
m=(T2*n)/(4∏L) which I substituted into equation 1 to get:
μ=(T2*n)/(4∏L2)
So so far I have the equation in terms of L and T but not in terms of the slope of my plot which would be df/dn.
Thanks!
