Physics calculatorString Fundamental Frequency
Calculate frequency (hz) using the string fundamental frequency formula.
How the String Fundamental Frequency works
This calculator applies the formula given in Formulae and Tables, State Examinations Commission (2014), page 60. Enter values in consistent units.
Formula and inputs
Math.sqrt(tension ÷ linear_density) ÷ (2 × length)
Inputs: Tension (N), Linear density (kg/m), String length (m).
Using the result
The result is rounded to 4 decimal places. Check units, assumptions and significant figures before using the answer.
