That will tell you the tension but it won’t tell you the break point
percentage for which you will need the core dimension factored in.  The
issue with respect to this question of breakage is really at what BP% is the
string made.

I forgot to specify the right character set in my last message, so the
division sign got mangled.

Here is the correct sequence:

*l x f x d x = ÷ 20000 =*
