2		1 kilogram-force is by definition equal to 9.80665 N = 0.980665 daN.										daN is a deka Newton
3		1 kilogram-force is approximately 2.204622 lbf
4		So therefore 1 daN = 2.204622/0.980665 = 2.248 lbf
5
6			1	kgf	9.80665	N
7			1	kgf	2.204622	lbf
8		so	1	lbf	4.448223	N								3121.55365	the divisor in Mimmo's formula
9														386.08858	the divisor in D'Addario's formula

12			1	ft	0.3048	m								32.174049
13			1	ft	12	in								386.0885827
14			1	in	0.0254	m
15		so	1	m	39.370079	in

19	rho	kg/m^3	1,300.00				rho	kg/m^3 --> kg/L	1.30	multiply by	1000		rho	kg/m^3 -->lbs/cu.in		divide by	27,679.9125
20	f	Hz	329.63				f	Hz	329.63				f	Hz	329.63
21	L	m	0.65				L	m	0.65				L	m --> in		divide by	39.370079	squared
22	d	m	0.00064				d	m --> mm	0.64	divide by	1000	squared	d	m --> in		divide by	39.370079	squared
23
24	Tension	N	76.80				Tension	N	76.80				Tension	N
25		kgf	7.83	divide by	9.806650			kgf	7.83	divide by	9.806650			kgf		divide by	9.806650
26		lbf	17.26	divide by	4.448223			lbf	17.26	divide by	4.448223			lbf		divide by	4.448223
