A steel wire has a length of $12$ $m$ and a mass of $2.10$ $kg$. What will be the speed of a transverse wave on this wire when a tension of $2.06{\rm{ }} \times {10^4}$ $\mathrm{N}$ is applied ?
Speed of transverse wave in a tense wire is,
$v=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mu}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{T}}{\mathrm{M} / \mathrm{L}}}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{TL}}{\mathrm{M}}}$
$\therefore v =\sqrt{\frac{2.06 \times 10^{4} \times 12}{2.1}}=343 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{s}}$
Speed of a transverse wave on a straight wire (mass $6.0\; \mathrm{g}$, length $60\; \mathrm{cm}$ and area of cross-section $1.0\; \mathrm{mm}^{2}$ ) is $90\; \mathrm{ms}^{-1} .$ If the Young's modulus of wire is $16 \times 10^{11}\; \mathrm{Nm}^{-2},$ the extension of wire over its natural length is
One end of a long string of linear mass density $8.0 \times 10^{-3}\;kg m ^{-1}$ is connected to an electrically driven tuning fork of frequency $256\; Hz$. The other end passes over a pulley and is tied to a pan containing a mass of $90 \;kg$. The pulley end absorbs all the incoming energy so that reflected waves at this end have negligible amplitude. At $t=0,$ the left end (fork end) of the string $x=0$ has zero transverse displacement $(y=0)$ and is moving along positive $y$ -direction. The amplitude of the wave is $5.0\; cm .$ Write down the transverse displacement $y$ as function of $x$ and $t$ that describes the wave on the string.
Obtain the equation of speed of transverse wave on tensed (stretched) string.
The speed of a transverse wave passing through a string of length $50 \;cm$ and mass $10\,g$ is $60\,ms ^{-1}$. The area of cross-section of the wire is $2.0\,mm ^{2}$ and its Young's modulus is $1.2 \times 10^{11}\,Nm ^{-2}$. The extension of the wire over its natural length due to its tension will be $x \times 10^{-5}\; m$. The value of $x$ is $...$
A steel wire with mass per unit length $7.0 \times 10^{-3}\,kg\,m ^{-1}$ is under tension of $70\,N$. The speed of transverse waves in the wire will be $.........m/s$
