Looking for formula to equate force to oscillation frequency/length

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
