A steel wire 0.72 m long has a mass of `5.0 xx 10^(-3)` kg . If the wire is under a tension of 60 N, what is the speed of transverse waves on the wire ?

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

To find 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 linear mass density of the wire. ...
