- A copper wire has a radius of 200 µ m and a length of 5.0 m. The wire is placed under a tension of 3000 N and the wire stretches by a small amount. The wire is plucked and a pulse travels down the wire. What is the propagation speed of the pulse? (Assume the temperature does not change: (=8.96gcm3,Y=1.11011Nm) .)arrow_forwardA person putting up power lines is told to stretch the wire between poles to a tension of about 800N. The person doesn't have a tension scale so they decide to measure the speed of a pulse created on the wire when they hit it with a wrench.
