Answer:
(a) 89 m/s
(b) 11000 N
Explanation:
Note that answers are given to 2 significant figures which is what we have in the values in the question.
(a) Speed is given by the ratio of distance to time. In the question, the time given was the time it took the pulse to travel the length of the cable twice. Thus, the distance travelled is twice the length of the cable.

(b) The tension,
, is given by

where
is the speed,
is the tension and
is the mass per unit length.
Hence,

To determine
, we need to know the mass of the cable. We use the density formula:

where
is the mass and
is the volume.

If the length is denoted by
, then


The density of steel = 8050 kg/m3
The cable is approximately a cylinder with diameter 1.5 cm and length or height of 620 m. Its volume is




Newton's law of universal gravitation, says that every particle attracts every other particle in the universe with a force which is directly proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between their centers.
Or in simple words, every particle in the world attracts each other to themselves, but the particle with most mass would attract with more force compared to a particle with less mass.
