Question

A long string having mass density as 0.01 kg/m is subjected to a tension of 64 N. The speed of the transverse wave on the string is:​

Answer 1

Answer: 80 m/s

Explanation: Given conditions,

Mass density (u) = 0.01 kg/m

Tension (T) = 64 N

Using the formula,

Speed of the transverse Waves,

                          $v = \sqrt[2]{\frac{T}{u} }$

thus,

            $v = \sqrt{\frac{64}{0.01} }\\ v = \sqrt{6400} \\v = 80$

Thus, Velocity of the Transverse waves is 80 m/s.
