A wire of length 20cm is stretched by a load of 1kg wt. if the linear density of the wire is 0.01 gm/cm, then the speed of the transverse waves on the wire will be

A

99 m/s

B

3.13m/s

C

9.8m/s

D

10m/s

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`v=sqrt(T/m)=sqrt((9.8)/(10^(-3)) = sqrt(9.8xx10^3) = 99 m//s`
