Looking for formula to equate force to oscillation frequency/length

AI Thread Summary
To determine the tension strength of a guitar string using its oscillation frequency and length, one can refer to the physics of vibrating strings. The fundamental frequency is related to the tension, length, and mass per unit length of the string. Dimensional analysis can provide insights, but specific formulas may be more effective. Resources like the Wikipedia page on vibrating strings can offer foundational information. Understanding these relationships is key to accurately calculating string tension.

Hi, i am interested in figuring out the tension strength on a guitar string, by using its oscillation frequency (or fundamental harmonic) and its length.. I looked online but can't find much... I tried some dimensional analysis but couldn't come up with much

Thread 'Motional EMF in Faraday disc, co-rotating magnet axial mean flux'
So here is the motional EMF formula. Now I understand the standard Faraday paradox that an axis symmetric field source (like a speaker motor ring magnet) has a magnetic field that is frame invariant under rotation around axis of symmetry. The field is static whether you rotate the magnet or not. So far so good. What puzzles me is this , there is a term average magnetic flux or "azimuthal mean" , this term describes the average magnetic field through the area swept by the rotating Faraday...
It may be shown from the equations of electromagnetism, by James Clerk Maxwell in the 1860’s, that the speed of light in the vacuum of free space is related to electric permittivity (ϵ) and magnetic permeability (μ) by the equation: c=1/√( μ ϵ ) . This value is a constant for the vacuum of free space and is independent of the motion of the observer. It was this fact, in part, that led Albert Einstein to Special Relativity.
