It is observed that the frequency of oscillation of a guitar string depends upon the string mass , length , and
tension force .
a. [6 pts] Determine one possible equation for
based on , , and . This equation must be
dimensionally consistent.
=
b. [3 pts] Based on the equation from part (a), fill in the blanks below with
“increase” or “decrease”:
i. Increasing the string mass will the frequency.
ii. Increasing the string length will the frequency.
iii. Increasing the string tension will the frequency.
