Q.
The linear density of a vibrating string is 1.3×10−4kgm−1 . A transverse wave is propagating on the string and its described by the equation y=0.021sin(x+30t) , where x and y are measured in m and t in s . The tension in the string is

Solution:
m=1.3×10−4kgm−1
From Eq., k=1m−1 , ω=30s−1
Wave velocity v=kω=30m/s
Wave speed on vibrating string, v=mT 30=1.3×10−4T T=(1.3×10−4)900 T=0.12N
