Answer:
(a) T = 0.015 N
(b) M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g
Explanation:
(a) T = 0.015 N
First, we will find the speed of waves:
where,
v = speed of wave = ?
f = frequency = 120 Hz
λ = wavelength = 6 cm = 0.06 m
Therefore,
v = (120 Hz)(0.06 m)
v = 7.2 m/s
Now, we will find the linear mass density of the coil:
where,
μ = linear mass density = ?
m = mass = 1.45 g = 1.45 x 10⁻³ kg
l = length = 5 m
Thereforre,
Now, for the tension we use the formula:
<u>T = 0.015 N</u>

(b)
The mass to be hung is:
<u>M = 1.53 x 10⁻³ kg = 1.53 g</u>
