Physics of Sound

  1. ​A string of 7 m length has a mass of 0.035 kg. If tension in the string is 60.5 N, then speed of a wave on the string is
    1. 77 m/s
    2. 102 m/s
    3. )110 m/s
    4. 165 m/s
Correct Option: C

Given : Length (l) = 7 m
Mass (M) = 0.035 kg and tension (T) = 60.5 N.
Therefore, mass of string per unit length (m) =

0.035
= 0.005 kg/m
