A steel wire has a length of 12.0 m and a mass of 2.10 kg. What should be the tension in the wire so that speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at 20°C = 343 ms-1. |

Answer» Mass, M = 2.10 kg Length, l = 12; v = 343 ms-1 ∴ Mass per unit length, m = M/ρ = 2.10/12 = 0.175 kg m-1 ∴ using √{T/m} = u ⇒ T = mv2 or, T = 0.175 x (343)2 = 2.06 x 104 N |
