Question

A guitar string is supposed to vibrate at 244 Hz, but is measured to actually vibrate at 255 Hz. By what percentage should the tension in the string be changed to get the frequency to the correct value? PLEASE SHOW YOUR COMPLETE WORK ON HOW YOU ISOLATED THE TENSION VARIABLE.

Step 1

Step 1: The frequency of a vibrating string is given by the formula: f = (1/2L) * sqrt(T/μ) where: f is the frequency, L is the length of the string, T is the tension in the string, and μ is the linear density of the string. Show more…
