A string of length $L$ and mass $M$ hangs freely from a fixed point. Then the velocity of transverse waves along the string at a distance $x$ from the free end is

The mass per unit length of a uniform wire is $0.135\, g / cm$. A transverse wave of the form $y =-0.21 \sin ( x +30 t )$ is produced in it, where $x$ is in meter and $t$ is in second. Then, the expected value of tension in the wire is $x \times 10^{-2} N$. Value of $x$ is . (Round-off to the nearest integer)
