For a standing wave on a string, the wavelength is equal to twice the length of the string:

In our problem, L=50.0 cm=0.50 m, therefore the wavelength of the wave is

And the speed of the wave is given by the product between the frequency and the wavelength of the wave:
I would say clay, because its a solid
These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.
