Calculate the velocity of a transverse w...

Calculate the velocity of a transverse wave along a string of length `2 m` and mass `0.06 kg` under a tension of `500 N`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B

Mass per unit length, `mu =(m)/(l)`
`v=sqrt((T)/(mu))= sqrt((Tl)/(m)) = sqrt((500 xx 2)/(0.06))`
`=129.1 m//s`
