music.string-tension Calculator
Calculates string tension in pounds or Newtons from scale length, string gauge, and desired tuning frequency using the string physics formula. Knowing tension helps luthiers set up instruments, choose string gauges, and evaluate the structural load on a bridge.
Inputs
Freq
Cycles per second (Hz). Audible sound: 20 Hz – 20 kHz. Make sure units match what the formula expects.
Scale
Linear measurement. Ensure consistent units: 1 m = 1,000 mm = 3.281 ft.
Mass
Total mass (kg). Distinct from weight — weight = mass × gravity. Mass is constant; weight varies with location.
Results
tension (N)
The tensile force or stress — the pulling force that stretches the material. Must stay below the material's tensile strength.
tension (lbs)
The tensile force or stress — the pulling force that stretches the material. Must stay below the material's tensile strength.
wave speed (m/s)
The computed rate of movement or processing.
frequency
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
T=4mL^2*f^2
