To solve this problem we will apply the laws of Mersenne. Mersenne's laws are laws describing the frequency of oscillation of a stretched string or monochord, useful in musical tuning and musical instrument construction. This law tells us that the velocity in a string is directly proportional to the root of the applied tension, and inversely proportional to the root of the linear density, that is,
Here,
v = Velocity
= Linear density (Mass per unit length)
T = Tension
Rearranging to find the Period we have that
As we know that speed is equivalent to displacement in a unit of time, we will have to
Therefore the tension is 5.54N
