A piano string having a mass per unit length equal to `5.00 xx 10^(3)kg//m` is under a tension of `1350 N`, Find the speed with which a wave travels on this string.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
`300 sqrt(3) m//s`

`V = sqrt((T)/(mu)) = ((1350)/(5 xx 10^(-3)))^(1/2) = 300sqrt(3) (m)//(sec)`
