Question

ransverse 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:

According to the given situation the solution of the mass of the string is shown below:-

Speed of the wave is

`v = \sqrt{(F_T* Length\ of\ string)/(Mass\ of\ string)}`

`30.0 m/s = \sqrt{(10 kg m/s^2* 5.00 m)/(Mass\ of\ string)`

Mass of string is

`= \sqrt{(10 kg m^2/s^2* 5.00 m)/(900 m^2 s^2)`

After solving the above equation we will get the result that is

= 0.055 kg

Therefore for calculating the mass of the string we simply applied the above formula.
