The length of a steel wire is 0.82 m and its mass is `4 xx 10^(-3)` kg. Calculate the speed of transverse waves on the wire if the wire is under a tension of 80 N.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To calculate the speed of transverse waves 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. ...
