Let x be the frequency of an 8-inch string.
According to the inverse variation formula, we have:
length1 * frequency1 = length2 * frequency2
Substitute the given values:
10 * 512 = 8 * x
5120 = 8x
Divide both sides by 8:
x = 640
Therefore, the frequency of an 8-inch string is 640 cycles per second.
