Nice, these are new concepts. I shall see if I need to explore them in this study.

I see! Okay I will try a range of temperatures at equilibrium. It will interesting the explain the change in frequency that way in my experiment. Also just to clarify, since I am justifying it as a matter of specific heats, doesn't the specific heat determine whether or not material qualifies...

Hello! Surprised I was because the tension did in fact drop! I think I figured out why but please correct me if I am wrong. So my understanding is that the coefficient of thermal expansion measures the expansion per degree kelvin raised. Therefore, per degree kelvin raised, wood expands 3...

Making the Purchase rn, thank you for your advice I wouldn't have known this. Making a really simple "isolation box" rn. Its like a greenhouse, but it will preserve heat and all the apparatus inside to reach equilibrium with the surroundings. Its just a shoe box with aluminium foil on the inside...

Wow, this took me a while to understand but yes this is a lot easier! It's just really complex algebra but it will remove one of the experimental parameters, therefore reducing uncertainty. And tension had been a really hard thing to measure for me because I was measuring the initial frequency...

Interesting, I did not consider that! I am conducting the experiment tommorow, will share the results!

I'm sorry, I would end up with a quadratic right? But why do I need to do so, is ther esomething wrong with my current formula?

its a classic steel based guitar string. I also have a nylon based inesxtensible fishing line string

Oh my bad, my string is a typical steel E guitar string. I also have access to "inextensible" fishing line string which is nylon-based with some plastic.

Yes, but I am trying to account for the change in tension with temperature by using the mathematical model to portray the final tension as a product of young's modulus(constant), linear density(constant) and change in temperature (measured w my infrared gun)

Hello, Yes the tension of the string will decrease with a change in temperature, which I am trying to model mathematically by relating tension to youngs modulus, change in temperature and coefficient of thermal expansion. And yes, my bad but I did switch signs there. No I have not taken...

Hey! Yes, I did, I have attached the file below. It shows me deriving my formula. Please do let me know if you think it can be simplified further or improved!

So, my apparatus consists of a basic wooden plank with a nail on one end and a guitar tuner on the other. I plan on using a heating lamp to control the temperature of the apparatus, which is placed inside an insulation box, and use a non-contact infrared thermometer to measure the temperature of...
