Question

A string of density 7.5 g cm - 3 and area of cross-section 0 . 2 m m 2 is stretched under a tension of 20 N . When it is plucked at the mid-point, the speed of the transverse wave on the wire is, 116 m s - 1, 40 m s - 1, 200 m s - 1, 5900 m s - 1

MARKS App · Accepted Answer

The speed of transverse wave, v = T m Given, T = 20 N M l = d × A l l = d × A ∴ v = 20 × 10 - 3 7 .5 × 0 .2 × 10 - 3 2 v ≈ 116 m s - 1
