Each string on a violin is tuned a fifth higher than the one below it (there are four strings; from lowest pitch to highest they are G, D, A, and E), so that each has a frequency 3/2 that of the one below it. The A string typically has a frequency of 440 Hz, a diameter of 0.45mm and a bridge-to-pegbox length of 325 mm. Assume the strings are made of steel (density 7800 kg/m3).
a. What is the tension in the A string?
b. In order for the tension to be the same in all of the strings, what must their diameters be?

The high-E string on a guitar (...standard tuning...) is fixed at both ends (...the nut and the bridge...) with a length of 67.0 cm. The fundamental frequency (HE4 ) is 330 Hz. On a typical acoustical country guitar, this string has a diameter of 0.33 mm and is commonly make of brass (7760 kg/m3), whereas on an electric guitar, the string has a diameter of 0.25 mm and is made of nickel-coated steel (7990 kg/m3). Find the ratio of the...
