I read in a book that tension = 1/(pa'), where a' = alpha prime.
Is this the correct formula for string tension and if so what is p?

String tension is the force applied to a string, typically in a musical instrument, that causes it to vibrate and produce sound.
String tension is typically measured in pounds (lbs) or newtons (N). It can also be measured in kilograms (kg) or grams (g) in some cases.
The main factors that affect string tension are the type and gauge of the string, the length of the string, and the tuning of the instrument.
The most commonly used formula for calculating string tension is T = F * L, where T is the tension, F is the force applied to the string, and L is the length of the string.
No, this formula may not be accurate for all types of strings and instruments. It is a simplified formula and other factors such as string material, elasticity, and geometry may also play a role in string tension.
