Answer:

The time taken is  t =  0.356 \ s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The length of steel the wire is  l_1  = 31.0 \ m

   The  length of the  copper wire is  l_2  = 17.0 \ m

    The  diameter of the wire is  d =  1.00 \ m  =  1.0 *10^{-3} \ m

     The  tension is  T  =  122 \ N

     

The time taken by the transverse wave to travel the length of the two wire is mathematically represented as

              t  =  t_s  +  t_c

Where  t_s is the time taken to transverse the steel wire which is mathematically represented as

         t_s  = l_1 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho * \pi *  d^2 }{ 4 *  T} } ]

here  \rho_s is the density of steel with a value  \rho_s  =  8920 \ kg/m^3

   So

      t_s  = 31 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{8920 * 3.142*  (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 *  122} } ]

      t_s  = 0.235 \ s

 And

        t_c is the time taken to transverse the copper wire which is mathematically represented as

      t_c  = l_2 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{\rho_c * \pi *  d^2 }{ 4 *  T} } ]

here  \rho_c is the density of steel with a value  \rho_s  =  7860 \ kg/m^3

 So

      t_c  = 17 *  [ \sqrt{ \frac{7860 * 3.142*  (1*10^{-3})^2 }{ 4 *  122} } ]

      t_c  =0.121

So  

   t  = t_c  + t_s

    t =  0.121 + 0.235

    t =  0.356 \ s

Rzqust [24]
<span>A tri-fold brochure has two parallel folds, splitting the brochure into three sections. Even when printed on low-weight paper, tri-folds can stand up easily, which makes them a great choice for displaying at conventions. You can fold both folds inwards so that the left and right sections of the brochure sit on top of one another, or you can have one fold inwards and the other outwards, to create an accordion effect, which looks very attractive.</span>
