A cable with a linear density of =0.2 kg/m is hung from telephone poles. The tension in the cable is 500.00 N. The distance between poles is 20 meters. The wind blows across the line, causing the cable resonate. A standing waves pattern is produced that has 4.5 wavelengths between the two poles. The air temperature is T=20C . What are the frequency and wavelength of the hum?

A string with a linear mass density of 0.0075 kg/m and a length of 6.00 m is set into the n=4 mode of resonance by driving with a frequency of 100.00 Hz. What is the tension in the string?

The speed of a transverse wave on a string is 300.00 m/s, its wavelength is 0.50 m, and the amplitude is 20.00 cm. How much time is required for a particle on the string to move through a distance of 5.00 km?

A pipe is observed to have a fundamental frequency of 345 Hz. Assume the pipe is filled with air (v = 343 m/s). What is the length of the pipe if the pipe is a. closed at one end and b. open at both ends?

If the tension in a string were increased by a factor of four, by what factor would the wave speed of a wave on the string increase?

A nylon guitar string is fixed between two lab posts 2.00 m apart. The string has a linear mass density of =7.20 g/m and is placed under a tension of 160.00 N. The string is placed next to a tube, open at both ends, of length L. The string is plucked and the tube resonates at the n=3 mode. The speed of sound is 343 m/s. What is the length of the tube?

Two sinusoidal waves are moving through a medium in the positive x-direction, both having amplitudes of 7.00 cm, a wave number of k=3.00 m-1, an angular frequency of =2.50 s-1, and a period of 6.00 s, but one has a phase shift of an angle =12 rad. What is the height of the resultant wave at a time t=2.00 s and a position x=0.53 m?

Transverse waves travel through a string where the tension equals 7.00 N with a speed of 20.00 m/s. What tension would be required for a wave speed of 25.00 m/s?

A steel wire of length 30.0 m and a copper wire of length 20.0 m, both with 1.00-mm diameters, are connected end to end and stretched to a tension of 150 N. During what time interval will a transverse wave travel the entire length of the two wires?
