A heavy stone is hung from the ceiling by a wire mass of 8.35g and length 70.7 cm. When you pluck the upper end of the wire, a pulse travels down the wire, taking 3.89ms to reach the lower end. Find the mass in kilograms of the stone. Use at least three significant figures.

Question
A heavy stone is hung from the ceiling by a wire mass of 8.35g and length 70.7 cm. When you pluck the upper end of the wire, a pulse travels down the wire, taking 3.89ms to reach the lower end. Find the mass in kilograms of the stone. Use at least three significant figures.
Expert Solution
Step 1: To calculate the mass of stone
Given:
The length of the wire () = 70.7 cm = 0.707 m
The time it takes for the pulse to travel down the wire () = 3.89 ms = 0.00389 seconds
The mass of the wire () = 8.35 g = 0.00835 kg
