Travelling wave

Question

A speed of transverse wave on a straight wire (mass 6.0 g, length 60 cm) and area of cross-section of wire  1.0mm2 is 90m/sec  . If the young’s modulus of wire is  16×1011N/m2. The extension of wire over a natural length is ______mm

Moderate
Solution

Speed of sound in string

V=Tμ 90=YAΔllml=16×1011×10-6×Δl6×103  Δl=0.03​ mm.
