where f = frequency [Hz]; T = string tension [N]; mu = mass per unit length [kg/

Question

where f = frequency [Hz]; T = string tension [N]; mu = mass per unit length [kg/m] and L = string length [m] Many electric guitars have a device often called a whammy bar or a tremolo bar that allows the guitarist to change the tension on the strings quickly and easily, thus changing the frequency of the strings. In designing a new whammy bar, we test our design by collecting data using a single string on the guitar and creating a graph of the observed frequency at different string tension as shown. What are the units of the coefficient (16.14)? If the observed frequency is 150 Hz, what is the string tension in newtons? If mass per unit length in 2.3 grams per meter, what is the length of the string in meters? If the length of the string in 0.67 meters, what is the mass per unit length in kilograms per meter?

Explanation / Answer
