A metal wire is clamped between two rigid supports 1 m apart. It is stretched with a tension of 20 N. If mass of wire is 9.8 g, determine its fundamental frequency.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To determine the fundamental frequency of the metal wire, we can use the formula for the fundamental frequency of a stretched string: \[ f = \frac{1}{2L} \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] Where: - \( f \) = fundamental frequency - \( L \) = length of the wire - \( T \) = tension in the wire ...
