To solve the problem step by step, we will use the relationship between the frequencies of the waves, tension in the wire, and Young's modulus. ### Step 1: Understand the relationship between frequencies Given that the frequency when rubbed (F1) is 20 times the frequency when plucked (F2), we can write: \[ F_1 = 20 \times F_2 \] ### Step 2: Determine the tension in the wire The tension (T) in the wire due to the suspended load is given by: ...
