Required information
A piano "string" is steel wire with radius 0.500 mm and
length 1.40 m. It is under 752 N of tension. The density of
steel is 7860 kg/m³ (see table 9.1). The Young's modulus
of steel is 2.00 × 1011 Pa (see table 10.1).
Consider the wire to be a thin solid steel rod. What is the speed of
longitudinal waves (i.e., sound) in the wire? (Longitudinal waves in the
wire do contribute to the characteristic sound of the piano.)
