The goal of this project is to numerically calculate the vibrations of a stretched string of total mass , unstretched length , Young’s modulus , and cross-sectional area .You will do this by modeling it as a series of point masses of mass connected by Hooke’s-law springs, each of equilibrium length and spring constant .
Recall that the spring constant of the overall spring is given by . The variables and only appear in the combination ; it is useful to define this as the “stiffness”, .
