New Design Idea

After discovering that our original idea of string length vs. frequency was linear, we decided to attempt testing tension of the string vs. frequency. The hardest part of this new proposal is designing a setup that can accurately measure the tension of the string. After brainstorming for a large portion of the weekend, we think we have designed a setup that can accurately measure the tension of the string. Knowing some basic physical principals, we figured that the tension could be calculated when an object of a known mass is hung from the string to create the tension. Basically, our setup will utilize this knowledge to obtain accurate data. We hope to begin and finish creating the setup soon. Once we finish we will share some photos online.
