A 5.5 metre length of string has a mass of 0.035 kg. If the tension in the string in 77 N, the speed of a wave on the string is (a) 110 m s⁻¹ (b) 165 m s⁻¹ (c) 77 m s⁻¹ (d) 102 m s⁻¹

Answer: (a). μ = 0.035/5.5 = 6.36×10⁻³ kg/m v = √(T/μ) = √((77 × 5.5)/(0.035)) = √(12100) So the answer is (a) 110 m s⁻¹.
