A horizontal string, length 0.65m, has a mass of 5.5g and is put under a tension of 110N, it is plucked. Calculate speed of transverse wave.


Never mind, i dont think we are meant to know this in my course.

I would delete the thread, but dont know how.

v = Sqrt(T/u), u = mass per unit length (kg/m).
