A 100-m long transmission cable is suspended between two towers. If the mass density is 2.01 kg/m and the tension in the cable is 3.00 x 104 N, what is the speed of transverse waves on the cable

Answer :

Answer:

The speed  is [tex]v =122.2 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  length of the wire is [tex]L = 100 \ m[/tex]

    The  mass density is  [tex]\mu = 2.01 \ kg/m[/tex]

    The tension is [tex]T = 3.00 *10^{4} \ N[/tex]

   

Generally the speed of the transverse cable is mathematically represented as

           [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }[/tex]

substituting values

         [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{3.0 *10^{4}}{2.01} }[/tex]

        [tex]v =122.2 \ m/s[/tex]
