Question

Transverse waves are sent along a 5.00-m-long string with a speed of 30.00 m/s. The string is under a tension of 10.00 N. What is the mass of the string

Answer 1

0.055 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that

Length of the string, l = 5 m

Speed of the wave, v = 30 m/s

Tension on the string, F(t) = 10N

From the formula written in the attachment, we have

v = velocity of the wave, in m/s

F(t) = Tension on the string, in N

U = Mass per length of the string, in kg/m

m = Mass of the string, in kg

l = Length of the string, in m
