A steel wire has a length of 12 m and mass of 23.10 kg . What will be the speed of a transverse wave on this when a tension of `2.06xx10^(4)`N is applied?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Given, length of the wire
`" " l=12 m`
Mass of wire `" " m=2.10 kg`
Tenstsion `" " T=2.06xx10^(4)N`
Speed pf transverse wave `" " v=sqrt((T)/(mu))" "` [ where `mu`=mass per unit length ]
`" " =sqrt((2.06xx10^(4))/(((2.10)/(12))))=sqrt((2.06xx12xx10^(4))/(2.10))=343m//s`
