Equation of wave
Question

Equation of a transverse progressive wave in a string is y=5sin400πt20πxmm where x is in meter and t in second. If the mass of the string is 0.1 kg/m, then the tension in the string is 

Moderate
Solution

Velocity of propagation, V=40020m/s=20m/s

Now V=TμT=μV2=0.1×202N=40N
