Solving for tuning frequency.

note:

for S=0.7	use	b=0.7206
for S=0.6	use	b=0.9560
for S=0.5	use	b=1.2712

Inputs:

Conversions:

maximum air volume displaced by cone excursion (V_d)	=	=	meter^3
minimum vent port diameter (D_min)	=	=	centimeter
number of ports or vents (N_p)	=	=

Solution:

tuning frequency (f_b)
