1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data
Work out the length of a guitar string, and where the frets will be placed from nut to bridge given the starting frequency.
Frequency = 82.4Hz (E)
2. Relevant equations
12√2 between each fret
v = fλ
v = √(T/u)
u = m/L
L = (1/2)*λ
3. The attempt at a solution
I'm actually not too sure how to go about this question because I only have the frequency.
I guess I could approximate a tension and density by research but other than that I'm quite stumped.
Thanks in advance.
