In a sonometer experiment, the density of material of the wire used in `7.5xx10^(3)kg//m^(3)`. If the stress of the wire is `3.0xx10^(8)N//m^(2)`, find out the speed of transvers waves in the wire.

Answer» Here, `rho=7.5xx10^(3)kg//m^(3)`,
Stress `=3.0xx10^(8)N//m^(2)`
If A is area of cross section of the wire, then tension in wire,
`T=stressxxarea=3.0xx10^(8)A N`
Mass per unit length of wire,
`m=Axx1xxrho=Axx7.5xx10^(3)kg//m`
`v=sqrt((T)/(m))=sqrt((3.0xx10^(8)A)/(Axx7.5xx10^(3)))=sqrt(4xx10^(4))=200m//s`
