Question

How do you calculate the linear density of a string?

Answer 1

Linear Density

1. Density is a property of materials.
2. It is defined as the ratio of mass and length, the amount of mass in unit length.

Calculation of density

1. The Linear density of a string is given by $\lambda =\frac{M}{L}$, where M and L are the mass and length of the body.
2. If we know the actual length and mass of the string we can calculate its linear density.
