Sorry to answer a question with a question, but in the effort to get a more accurate density number:
Wouldn't the density per unit length also depend on the amount of stretching, or is that already accounted for by the square root of tension? And how much might the density vary among manufacturers or even between different lots of the same manufacturer? -- David LGS-Europe wrote: >Thanks to all the rocket scientist on this list I now understand why the >formula for string tension is what it is.
