The shape is different, but there is no reason a Ukulele couldn't have the same shape. The ukulele is normally smaller then a mandolin. The tuning is different as well.
Originally, the mandolin had 6 strings. Later designs included 8 strings (4 pairs) and the strings were plucked with a plucktrum. Other designs have multiples of 4 strings, up to a maximum of 16 strings.
A mandolin is a small bodied instrument that usually has 8 strings grouped in pairs to have a "4 string" effect. A mandolin has an approximate scale length of 13-14 inches. Standard tuning (starting with thickest string) is GDAE. A guitar typically has 6 strings and is a much larger bodied instrument with an approximate scale length of 24 inches. Standard tuning (starting with thickest string) is EADGBE. Overall - the guitar is a more popular instrument in most music genres.
No, it belongs with the strings.
Your question was a little strangly worded but when plucking the strings, they vibrate and depending on the thickness of the strings, make a note
Coated strings last longer and keep there tone, such as elixir, which has a coating on the inside wire. Exp's has the coating on the outside of the wound strings(G&D). Since oils, dirt and grime are what kills string tone by getting down in the grooves of the strings and prevents the string from vibrating. They are more expensive but they do last longer. Lighter strings are more of a beginner string for they are easier on the fingers, but they aren't as loud. Medium strings are a little harder to note but they increase the volume and have a more sure tone. Heavy strings have a louder volume but are harder on the neck of your mandolin. You should check with your mandolin manufacture to see which string they recommend for your mandolin. Thanks hope this helps, Rowdy

It's mandolin not mandola. The mandolin has four pair of metal strings.

Mandolins have strings.
A mandolin usually has a wooden body, neck, and metal strings. They are constructed in different shapes, sizes, and styles.
