Question
(a) An ethernet cable is 4 m long and has a mass of 0.25 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cable. The pulse makes 5 trips down and back along the cable in 0.5 s. What is the tension in the cable?
(b)
A simple pendulum consists of a ball of mass 3 kg hanging from a uniform string of mass 0.06 kg and length L. If the period of oscillation of the pendulum is 3 s, determine the speed of a transverse wave in the string when the pendulum hangs vertically.
