2. GUITAR STRINGS
Have you played a guitar? Guitar is one of the most commonly used musical instrument next to
the piano. The pitch of a guitar with steel strings varies directly as the square root of the tension
and inversely as the length of the string. What is the pitch when the tension is 169 kilograms and
the length of the string is 0.65 meter given that the pitch is 5 when the tension is 225 kilograms
and the length is 0.60 meters?

A. 3
B. 4
