Detailed Solution

Speed of transverse wave over a string.
   v=Tμ ……(i)
Where T= tension or force on string 
And  μ=ml  = mass per unit length.
Also, young’s modulus of string 
 Y=TIAΔlT=YAΔll  ………(ii)
From Eqs.(i) and (ii), we have v2=YAΔlμlorΔI=mv2YA   …………….(iii)
Here,  m = 6g=6×103kg,l=60cm

=60×102m,A=1mm2 =1×106m2,
  Y=15×1011Nm2 and  v=90ms1
Substituting these given values  in Eq. (iii), we get

 Δl=6×103×(90)215×1011×1×106=3.24×105m
