When a mass M hangs from a vertical wire of length L, waves travel on this wire with a speed V.
What will be the speed of these waves (in terms of V) if we increase M by a factor of 10.0, which stretches the wire to double its original length?
Two children stretch a jump rope between them and send wave pulses back and forth on it. The rope is 3 m long, its mass is 1.4 kg, and the force exerted by the children is 40 N. What is the speed of the waves on the rope?
A string of length L is under tension, and the speed of a wave in the string is 58 m/s. What will be the speed of a wave in the string, in m/s, if the length is doubled but with no change in the mass or tension?

- A person putting up power lines is told to stretch the wire between poles to a tension of about 800N. The person doesn't have a tension scale so they decide to measure the speed of a pulse created on the wire when they hit it with a wrench. The pulse travels from one pole 60m to another pole and back again in 2.6 s. The 60m long wire has a mass of 15kg. Should the wire be tightened or loosened? Explain how you decided.
