The diameter of an iron wire is 1.20 mm....

The diameter of an iron wire is 1.20 mm. If the speed of transverse waves in the wire is `50.0m//s`, what is the tension in the wire? The density of iron is `7.7xx10^(3)kg//m^(3)`

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the tension in the iron wire, we can use the formula for the speed of transverse waves in a wire, which is given by: \[ V = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\nu}} \] where: - \( V \) is the speed of the wave, - \( T \) is the tension in the wire, - \( \nu \) is the mass per unit length of the wire. ...
