Answer:
The tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N
Explanation:
Given;
Tension on the string, T = 120 N
initial speed of the transverse wave, v₁ = 170 m/s
final speed of the transverse wave, v₂ = 180 m/s
The speed of the wave is given as;
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }[/tex]
where;
μ is mass per unit length
[tex]v^2 = \frac{T}{\mu} \\\\\mu = \frac{T}{v^2} \\\\\frac{T_1}{v_1^2} = \frac{T_2}{v_2^2}[/tex]
The final tension T₂ will be calculated as;
[tex]T_2 = \frac{T_1 v_2^2}{v_1^2} \\\\T_2 = \frac{120*180^2}{170^2} \\\\T_2 = 134.53 \ N[/tex]
Therefore, the tension on string when the speed was raised is 134.53 N
