Hi! I'm a Senior in High School, doing the International Baccalaureate in Madrid, Spain. I entered this site to find some information about a topic I want to do an investigation on (Mersenne's Law, how pitch in a vibration of a string changes with length, tensión, thikness and maybe temperature).
I loved this site and I wanted to ask some questions in a post, so I logged in. It is a very usefull comunity, thank you everyone!

Welcome to PF!

Try creating a post in the General Physics forum and ask your question. Have you researched in online via google searches. I'm sure there are some videos at Khan Academy or elsewhere that cover string vibration and length.

Here's one reference to get started:

https://www.khanacademy.org/science...standing-waves-ap/v/standing-waves-on-strings
and a Hyperphysics summary

http://hyperphysics.phy-astr.gsu.edu/hbase/Waves/string.html
Also you might more info in the Openstax.org Physics books:

And welcome again.
