A rope has a mass of 1 kg and a length of 15 m. It is fixed at both ends. If the
frequency of the first harmonic on this rope is 0.68 Hz, what is the tension of
this rope in N? Enter a number with one digit behind the decimal point.
A school is setting up for the science department's annual "Night of Phantastic Physics Phun." One of the most popular
demonstrations is the traveling wave pulse, in which participants pluck one end of a long, taut wire to send transverse wave
pulses racing across the room. The goal is for the pulses to travel across the 19.5 m wire in a time of about 0.500 s. The mass of
a 1 m long piece of the wire is known to be 0.435 kg.
What should the tension in the wire be in order to achieve the desired wave speed?
