How do you calculate the change of frequency of a quartz crystal by applying pressure on the crystal?

you compress and release the pressure on the quartz buy changing the electrical polarity (force)

the speed of sound in the crystal determines the frequency

so for about 1000 ft / second if the quartz is about .01' 1/8" thick you get about

100khz

applying more pressure increases the amplitude making the frequency lower

too much power (force, pressure) you will break the crystalo
