Question

a steel wire 70 cm long has a mass of 7 kg if the wire is under a tension of 100 Newton what is the speed of transverse wave in the wire

Answer 1

The speed of the transverse wave in the wire will be 3.16 m/s.

Explanation :

Length of the wire, L = 70 cm = 0.7 m

Mass of the wire, m = 7 kg

Tension, T = 100 N

we know that velocity of the transverse wave is given by;

v = √(TL/m)

= √(100 x 0.7 /7)

= √10

= 3.16 m/s

Hence the speed of the transverse wave in the wire will be 3.16 m/s.

I hope it helps.
