Biologists think that some spiders tune strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding
Question:
Biologists think that some spiders “tune” strands of their web to give enhanced response at frequencies corresponding to those at which desirable prey might struggle. Orb spider web silk has a typical diameter of 20 μm, and spider silk has a density of 1300 kg/m3. To have a fundamental frequency at 100 Hz, to what tension must a spider adjust a 12-cm-long strand of silk?
