Question

Calculate the speed of a wave on a guitar string which has a mass of 55 g and a length of 30 cm if the tension in the string is 200 N

Answer 1

33 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

v = √(T / (m/L))

where v is the velocity,

T is the tension,

and m/L is the mass per length.

v = √(200 N / (0.055 kg / 0.30 m))

v = 33 m/s
