To find the relation for the speed of a transverse wave \( v \) in a stretched string in terms of tension \( T \) and linear mass density \( \mu \) using the method of dimensions, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the variables and their dimensions We have: - Speed of the wave \( v \) (dimension: \( [L T^{-1}] \)) - Tension \( T \) (dimension: \( [M L T^{-2}] \)) - Linear mass density \( \mu \) (dimension: \( [M L^{-1}] \)) ...
