    Diameter Impedance
AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the relationship between the diameter of strings and their impedance when two strings with impedances Z1 and Z2 are joined under tension T. Impedance (Z) is defined as Z = √(T/ρ), where ρ is the mass density of the string. As the diameter of the strings affects their mass density, it consequently influences the impedance. A larger diameter typically results in a higher mass density, which can alter the impedance values. Understanding this relationship is crucial for applications in stringed instruments and engineering.

Hi,
Say there was a situation in which two strings are joined together, each with respective impedances Z1 and Z2, held under a tension T.
I was wondering about the functional dependence of the impedance on the diameter of the strings.
Thanks

Try to get the equation defining ##Z## (impedance) in terms of the tension ##T## and the mass density ##\rho##. From there you should be able to determine the functional dependence on diameter.

Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
