A steel wire has a length of 12 m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What will be the speed of a transverse wave on this wire when a tension of `2.06 xx 10^(4)` N is applied ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find the speed of a transverse wave on a steel wire, we can use the formula: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where: - \( v \) is the speed of the wave, - \( T \) is the tension in the wire, - \( \mu \) is the mass per unit length of the wire. ...
