1. A wave of wavelength 0.30 m is travelling down a 300 m long wire whose total mass is
15 kg. If the wire is under tension of 1000 N, what is the velocity and frequency of the
wave?
2. A wire has mass density of 9000 kg m−1, diameter of 3 mm and length of “L”. The wire
is held under tension force of 10 N and transverse waves are sent through the wire.
Find the (a) Linear mass density of the wire, (b) Wave velocity through the wire.
3. A guitar string is 90 cm long and has a fundamental frequency of 124 Hz. Where
should it be pressed to produce a fundamental frequency of 186 Hz?
