A steel wire has a length of 12.0 m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What should be the tension in the wire is so that speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air is 343 ms ^(-1).

A string 25cm long and having a mass of 2.5 gm is under tension. A pipe closed at one end is 40cm long. When the string is set vibrating in its first overtone and the air in the pipe in its fundamental frequency, 8 beats per second are heard. It is observed that decreasing the tension in the string decreases beat frequency. If the speed of sound in air is 320m//s , find the tension in the string.
