Travelling wave

Question

A transverse wave travels on a taut steel wire with velocity of V when tension in it is 2.06×104N. When the tension is changed to T. The velocity changed to V/2  the value of T is close to _____ ×103N

Moderate
Solution

Velocity of transverse wave is given by v 

           V T        v=Tμ V1V2=T1T2 S.B.S V12V22=T1T2 V2V22=T1T2 T2=T14 T2=2.06×1044 =5.15×103N
