put a piece of nylon string in a cup of water. if it sink 1200 must be correct, if it floats go with 7200. voila
Density of typical string material
Steel 7 700 kg/m3
Gut 1 300 "
Silk 1 300 "
Nylon 1 200 "
thats what one website says
and someone asked a question:
A nylon guitar string has a linear density of 7.4 g/m and is under a tension of 148 N.....
i think it is 1200 but i get the right answers with 7200....
