Question
Workers attach a 26.0 kg mass to one end of a 26.0 m long cable and secure the other end to the top of a stationary crane, suspending the mass in midair. If the cable has a mass of 26.0 kg, determine the speed of transverse waves at the middle and the bottom end of the cable. (Hint: Don't neglect the cable's mass. Because of it, the tension increases from a minimum value at the bottom of the cable to a maximum value at the top. The acceleration of gravity is g = 9.80 m/s2.)
