AI Generated Solution

To solve the problem, we will use the relationship between wave speed, tension, and linear mass density in a string. The formula for the speed of a wave on a string is given by: \[ v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu}} \] where: - \( v \) is the wave speed, - \( T \) is the tension in the string, - \( \mu \) is the linear mass density of the string. ...
