Goodness, I don't know for sure.... What's your guess?

anonymous · Answer

I think I have an idea.  Still, what's your answer?

anonymous · Answer

half

anonymous · Answer

if 
$$v_{wave} = \sqrt{ \frac{F}{\mu}} $$

$$ \mu \ \textrm{is "linear density," which would increase with an increased diameter}$$

anonymous · Answer

yah!!  winner ^_^

anonymous · Answer

how density related to Diameter Maff :)
