A metallic wire of 1 m length has a mass of 10 xx 10^(-3) kg If a tension of 100 N is applied to a wire, What is the speed of transverse wave ?

Answer»

100 `ms^(-1)`
10 `ms^(-1)`
200 `ms^(-1)`
0.1 `ms^(-1)`

SOLUTION :L = 1 m,M = 10 `xx 10^(-3)` kg.
`therefore "" m = (M)/(l)= 10 xx 10^(-3) ` kg/m
v = `SQRT((T)/(m)) = sqrt((100)/(10 xx 10^(-3)) ) `
`v = sqrt((100)/(10^(-2))) = sqrt(100 xx 10^(2)) = 100 ` m/s .
Correct choice is a.
