Calculate the velocity of the transverse...

Calculate the velocity of the transverse wave in a string which is stretched by a load of 15kg. The mass of the string is `3xx10^(-2)kg` and its length is 2m.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Velocity of transverse wave in a string is given by `v=sqrt((T)/(mu))`
here, we have `T=`weight of the load `=15xx9.8N`
and `mu=(M)/(L^(+))=(3xx10^(-2))/(2)=1.5xx10^(-2)" kg "m^(-1)`
`therefore=v=sqrt((T)/(mu))=sqrt((15xx9.8)/(1.5xx10^(-2)))`
`=sqrt(9800)=98.99m//s`
