Perhaps one of the rocket scientists (Arto, Taco?) on the list can help me with this. Mersenne and Galileo already found out that: - Frequency is inversely related to String Length. - Frequency is related to the square root of String Tension. - Fequency is inversely related to the square root of the String Mass per unit length. >From this I can deduce a formula for calculating string length / frequency / material / diameter, much like Arto's Super String Calculator:
T = constant * F^2 * L ^2 * Pi * (0.5 * d)^2 * D T = Tension F = Frequency L = String Length d = String diameter D = Density of String material The constant has to be 0,04 My question is: why 0,04? Coincidence, some fixed constant in nature or just a stupid question because I am missing something obvious?
