Can someone give me the Excel formula to calculate the tension of a string knowing it’s frequency, diameter, length, density? (And the appropriate units to use?)
Thanks.
rho density g/cm^3
f frequency Hz
L length mm
d diameter mm
T = 10^-9rhof^2L^2pi*d^2 is tension in N
T/9.81 tension in kg
in excel you get pi by “pi()”
what he said, I was going to say, drag out the old Physics text, or look online, LOL!
In its infinite wisdom the message display decided to omit most of the asterisks I typed in the formula. For an excel formula those will obviously be required for multiplications.

I did look on line, but forgot to convert the N to kg, so that’s what
went wrong and why I asked.
Jackrail strikes again!

Stephen, asterisks are used in this forum for formatting text in italic and bold!
Why not use x for multiply and ^ for exponent?

Everything came out fine here. I needed it in Excelese, which means with
asterisks, etc.
