One end of a horizontal hope is attached to a prong of an electrically driven tuning fork that vibrates the rope transversely at 150 Hz. The other end passes over a pulley and supports a 2.50-kg mass. The linear mass density of the rope is 0.05 kg/m. With what factor will the wavelength and speed of the transverse wave increase if the mass were increased to 3 kg?
