The linear density of a vibrating string...

The linear density of a vibrating string is `1.3 xx 10^(-4) kg//m` A transverse wave is propagating on the string and is described by the equation `y= 0.021 sin (x + 30 t)` where x and y are measured in meter and t`t` in second the tension in the string is :-

A

0.12 N

B

0.48 N

C

1.20 N

D

4.80 N

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

`v=("coeff of" omega)/("coedd of"k)=(30)/(1)=30 m//s=sqrt((I)/(mu))`
`rArr T=muxx900=1.3xx10^(-4)xx900 =0.12 N`.
