$A$ 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 the speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at $20\,^{\circ}C = 343 \;m s^{-1}$?

  • A
    $9.5 \times 10^{4} \;N$
  • B

$A$ transverse wave travels on a taut steel wire with a velocity of $v$ when the tension in it is $2.06 \times 10^{4} \; N$. When the tension is changed to $T$,the velocity changes to $v/2$. The value of $T$ is close to:

$A$ uniform metal wire has length $L$,mass $M$,and density $\rho$. It is under tension $T$,and $v$ is the speed of a transverse wave along the wire. The area of cross-section of the wire is:

$A$ string of mass $2.50 \;kg$ is under a tension of $200\; N$. The length of the stretched string is $20.0 \;m$. If the transverse jerk is struck at one end of the string,how long (in $sec$) does the disturbance take to reach the other end?

$A$ wire of length $50 \ cm$ and weighing $10 \ g$ is attached to a spring at one end and to a fixed wall at the other end. The spring has a spring constant of $50 \ N/m$ and is stretched by $1 \ cm$. If a wave pulse is produced on the string near the wall,then how much time will it take to reach the spring (in $s$)?

$A$ string of length $L$ and mass $M$ hangs freely from a fixed point. The velocity of transverse waves along the string at a distance $x$ from the free end is
