Question

The force stretching the D string on a certain guitar is 130 N. The string's linear mass density is 0.006 kg/m. What is the speed of the waves on the string?

Answer 1

The value is
`v = 147.2 \ m/s`

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question we are told that

The force is
`F = 130 \ N`

The linear mass density is
`\mu = 0.006 \ kg/m`

Generally the speed of the wave on the string is mathematically represented as

`v = \sqrt{(F)/(\mu ) }`

=>
`v = \sqrt{(130)/(0.006) }`

=>
`v = 147.2 \ m/s`
