Ok, it's finally beginning to sink in. I got the first part.
I also found some info on T.
UW = unit weight .056" = .00063477 lb/in
UW = unit weight .053" = .00056962 lb/in
L = 25.5in (scale length)
F = 82.4Hz (frequency or pitch)
T(tension) = (UW x (2 x L x F)^2)/386.4

No, unfortunately I don't have that formula.
The theory says that you can get lower action with heavier strings, because they provide more tension and you can get them lower without buzzing since they "do not move as much".
And it does work. You can set the heavy gauge very low and hit it...
Yes, that makes sense.
Except for the "frequency (f) of the note will depend on the tension" part. We are tuning both string gauges to the same note, standard A440 tuning.
The thicker gauge is tuned to say E, is under specific tension, and vibrates X mm under the S "amount of strum".
Now...
Thanks for the reply. I was hoping to test the theory that higher gauge strings allow lower action (and less buzz), due to the higher tension (and smaller amplitude).
Let's pick a random number for strumming force (same for both string gauges). How would I calculate amplitude of different...
Homework Statement
guitar scale= 25.5inch
pitch A=440Hz
string gauges 0.056inch, 0.053inch
Hello folks, can anyone help me with formula that relates string tension, scale length, pitch and string gauge.. I need to be able to calculate the amplitude of different string gauges.
Thank...
