Question

ransverse waves are sent along a 5.00-m-long string with a speed of 30.00 m/s. The string is under a tension of 10.00 N. What is the mass of the string

Answer 1

Answer:

0.055 kg

Explanation:

According to the given situation the solution of the mass of the string is shown below:-

Speed of the wave is

$v = \sqrt{\frac{F_T\times Length\ of\ string}{Mass\ of\ string}}$

$30.0 m/s = \sqrt{\frac{10 kg m/s^2\times 5.00 m}{Mass\ of\ string}$

Mass of string is

$= \sqrt{\frac{10 kg m^2/s^2\times 5.00 m}{900 m^2 s^2}$

After solving the above equation we will get the result that is

= 0.055 kg

Therefore for calculating the mass of the string we simply applied the above formula.
