*112. The figure shows waves traveling on two strings. Each string is attached to a wall at one end and to a box that has a weight of 28.0 N at the other end. String 1 has a mass of 8.00 g and a length of 4.00 cm, and string 2 has a mass of 12.0 g and a length of 8.00 cm. Concepts: (i) Is the tension the same in each string? (ii) Is the speed of each wave the same? (iii) String 1 has a smaller mass and, hence, less inertia than string 2. Does this mean that the speed of the wave on string 1 is greater than the speed on string 2? Calculations: Determine the speed of the wave on each string. String 1 String 2 28.0 N

A transverse wave pulse travels along a 45 m long silver cable and returns 0.58 s later. The cable has a radius of 0.5 cm. (note: Silver has a density of 10.5 g/cm^3) a) Determine the wave speed: b) Determine the cable tension:
Workers attach a 28.0 kg mass to one end of a 27.0 m long cable and secure the other end to the top of a stationary crane, suspending the mass in midair. If the cable has a mass of 24.0 kg, determine the speed of transverse waves at the middle and the bottom end of the cable. (Hint: Don't neglect the cable's mass. Because of it, the tension increases from a minimum value at the bottom of the cable to a maximum value at the top. The acceleration of gravity is g = 9.80 m/s².)
