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?

To measure the acceleration due to gravity on a distant planet, an astronaut hangs a 0.105-kg ball from the end of a wire. The wire has a length of 1.74 m and a linear density of 3.02 × 10-4 kg/m. Using electronic equipment, the astronaut measures the time for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the wire and obtains a value of 0.0653 s. The mass of the wire is negligible compared to the mass of the ball. Determine the acceleration due to gravity.

A string clamped at two ends is vibrating at a fundamental frequency of 443.5 Hz such that the distance between adjacent nodes is 44 cm. The tension of the wire is 93 N and wire diameter is 0.4 mm. Calculate the density of the material of the wire and give your answer in SI units.

75 (a) What is the fastest transverse wave that can be sent along a steel wire? For safety reasons, the maximum tensile stress to which steel wires should be subjected is 7.00 x 10$ N/m². The den- sity of steel is 7800 kg/m². (b) Does your answer depend on the di- ameter of the wire?

The linear mass density of a copper, 36.0cm long cable is 0.00750kg/m.The wire is fastened at each end. The speed of sound in air is 344m/s. The wavelength ofa standing wave that is set up in the wire is 14.4cm. The wire’s tension is 254.8N. a)  Which harmonic is present in the standing wave? b) ) What is the velocity of the wave in the wire? c) ) What is the frequency of the wave? d) ) How far from the wire’s end is the first anti-node?

The G string on a guitar is a 0.46 mm diameter steel string with a linear density of 1.3 g/m. When the string is properly tuned to 196 Hz, the wave speed of the string is 250 m/s. Tuning is done by slowly tightening the string, and stretching it in the process. By how many mm does a 75 cm-long G string stretch when it is first tuned? [Hint: Look up relevant properties of steel as needed.]

A phone cord is 4.89 m long. The cord has a mass of 0.212 kg. A transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cord. That pulse makes four round trips (down and back) along the cord in 0.666 s. What is the tension in the cord? Hint: Four round trips is a total distance of eight lengths of the cord.

A transverse wave pulse travels along a 45 m long silver cable and returns 0.58 s later. The cable has a radius of 0.5 cm. (note: Silver has a density of 10.5 g/cm^3) a) Determine the wave speed: b) Determine the cable tension:
