Also depends on your scale. At microscopic scales, a strings length is fractal, and thereby infinite.\n\nJust think of measuring a coastline length at a microscopic scale.

No.\n\nA chord can be any length that is less than (or equal to) the diameter of the circle.\n\nYou don't have enough information in your question.

I would have to go with the Planck length on this one, which is a millionth of a billionth of a billionth of a billionth of a centimeter!  \n\nThe reason I say this: According to String Theory, strings are that long, and they are the fundamental building block of all matter.  Therefore, nothing exists that is smaller than that, so it is useless to have a smaller measurement.

Tightening the string (or making it shorter, or a smaller diameter).

As I write this, the question has been posted for 3 hours without an answer, so I'll give it a try.  When you suspend a slack (not taut) string between two points, the string, having weight, will naturally form a parabolic shape between the points.\n\nEarlier I did the math, figuring out how long the string would be if strung across the 8-inch diameter and falling parabolically to a depth of 10 inches in the center.  This is a "length of curve" problem that involves some very messy calculus.\n\nThat's not the only problem.  Having done the math for the longest string -- the one that crosses the diameter -- I realized that the same problem would have to be repeated for each of the chords that will have shorter distances between the endpoints and shorter depths.\n\nAs a result, after reading your question again, I decided to take a new tack, focusing on the "how do you make" part of your question.  There's still some math, but not nearly as much as there would've been otherwise.\n\nTo begin, think of a circular tennis racket with loose strings sinking in the center.  That's the kind of net we're going to design.  For orientation, think of the 8-inch circular rim as the face of a clock. with 12:00, 1:00, ... 11:00 positions.\n\nFor the general shape, long strings will connect the 12:00 and 6:00 positions, falling parabolically to a central depth of 10 inches, and also connect the 3:00 and 9:00 positions, falling to the same depth.\n\nThere can be shorter strings connecting 1:00 and 5:00, 11:00 and 7:00, 10:00 and 2:00, and 8:00 and 4:00, and falling to a shallower depth (less than 10 inches).  These four strings will all be the same length.  Another set of four still-shorter strings will connect 2 and 4, 10 and 8, 11 and 1, and 7 and 5, again all of equal length and falling to a still-shorter depth.\n\nAll strings will be parabolic.  The longer and deeper strings will be in the center, and the shorter and shallower strings (the chords) will be toward the sides.  There will be an odd number of both vertical (e.g., 12-6) and horizontal (e.g., 9-3) strings because there's one central string in each direction and an even number of strings on the sides due to symmetry.\n\nTo form the net, the strings will all be woven as they interlace with each other.  I imagine that your net may be constructed with fishing line.\n\nHaving described the general structure of the net, we now have to do some math to figure out the spacing of the strings.  Going back to the tennis racquet idea, let's suppose we want the strings to be equally spaced <when viewed from above.>\n\nFor an example, suppose the strings are a half-inch apart.  Let the 12-6 line be the y-axis and the 9-3 line be the x-axis.  We want vertical strings at x-values of 0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, ... 3.5 (plus and minus) for a total of 15 strings.  There'll also be 15 horizontal strings for a total of 30.\n\nWe've already said that the central strings will attach across diameters (plus and minus 4) and descend to a depth of 10.  In three dimensions, suppose the bottom of the net is at (0,0,0), and the top circle is in the plane z = 10.  The equation of the parabola for the center strings is z = ax^2, passing through (4,10), so 10 = 16a, or a = 5/8, and the final equation in the x-z plane is\n\nz = (5/8) x^2  (Equation 1)\n\nLet's look at the placement of the string at x=3.  In the x-y plane, the circle has radius 4, and by the Pythagorean Theorem, the y-value is sqrt(4^2 - 3^2) = sqrt 7.  This string will be attached at (3, sqrt 7, 10) in 3 dimensions, with the other end at negative sqrt 7 in the y-dimension.  The distance between the attachment points is 2 sqrt 7.\n\nHow far down will this string go?  To get that, we evaluate Equation 1 at x=3:\n\nz = (5/8)(3^2) = 45/8 = 5 5/8 = 5.625\n\nThis means the <height of the netting> at x=3 is z= 5.625 inches.  But the top of the netting is at z=10, so the <drop> is 10 -

if you had 3 pieces of rope 1 meter long you would have a total of 3 meters... if your rope to start with is only 2.7 meters long... it is only logical to conclude that each piece when cut equally would be LESS THAN 1 meter... that is the < symbol.

HOW LONG IS A LENGHT OF STRING?

The frequency, f, of a vibrating string of m kg/m and subject to a tension of T Newtons is given by the relation\n\nf=sqrt(T/m)/2/L\n\nHence the frequency is inversely proportional to the length of the string, assuming the tension remains unchanged.\n\nThus the required length of the string is\n40*474/624=30.385 cm.

I think that would hurt the feelings of all the pencil dicks out there that like to boast about inches.  It doesnt matter if the thing is 6 feet long if it looks like a piece of string.
