Question

Problem 14.17 Two steel guitar strings have the same length. String A has a diameter of 0.53mm and is under 450.0N of tension. String B has a diameter of 1.0mm and is under a tension of 810.0N .Part A Find the ratio of the wave speeds, vA/vB, in these two strings. Express your answer using two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

m = ?V

V = LA

m = ?LA
v = sqrt[TL/(?LA)]
v = sqrt[T/(?A)]

the cross-sectional area is proportional to the square of the diameter:
A = kd
