Answer:

139.6m/s

Explanation:

Calculate the tension first, T=m*g

mass(m): 1750kg, gravity(g): 9.8m/s^2

T= 1750*9.8

=17150N

Then calculate the wave speed using the equation v = √ (T/μ)

v= √(17150N)/(0.88kg/m)

=139.6m/s

The logarithm of x, written log(x), tells you the power to which you would raise 10 to get x. So, if y=log(x), then x=10^y. It i

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the rules and concepts related to logarithmic operations.

From the definition of logarithm we know that,

$Log_{10}(10) = 1$

In this way for the given example we have that a logarithm with base 10 expressed in the problem can be represented as,

$log_{10}(1,000,000)$

We can express this also as,

$log_{10}(10^6)$

By properties of the logarithms we know that the logarithm of a power of a number is equal to the product between the exponent of the power and the logarithm of the number.

So this can be expressed as

$6*log_{10}(10)$

Since the definition of the base logarithm 10 of 10 is equal to 1 then

$6*1=6$

The value of the given logarithm is equal to 6
