$A$ transverse wave travels on a taut steel wire with a velocity of $v$ when the tension in it is $2.06 \times 10^{4} \; N$. When the tension is changed to $T$,the velocity changes to $v/2$. The value of $T$ is close to:

  • A
    $10.2 \times 10^{2} \; N$
  • B
    $5.15 \times 10^{3} \; N$
  • C
    $2.50 \times 10^{4} \; N$
  • D
    $30.5 \times 10^{4} \; N$

$A$ metallic wire of $1 \ m$ length has a mass of $10 \times 10^{-3} \ kg$. If a tension of $100 \ N$ is applied to the wire,what is the speed of the transverse wave (in $ms^{-1}$)?

$A$ string of length $1 \,m$ and mass $490 \,g$ is put under a tension of $25 \,N$. $A$ wave of frequency $120 \,Hz$ is sent along it. The speed of this wave is (in $\,m/s$)

One end of a string is tied to the ceiling of a lift and a load is attached at the bottom end of the string. When the lift is moving upwards with an acceleration of $2.1 \,ms^{-2}$, the speed of the transverse wave at the lower end of the string is $88 \,ms^{-1}$. If the lift moves downwards with an acceleration of $1.9 \,ms^{-2}$, the speed of the transverse wave at the lower end of the string is (take $g=10 \,ms^{-2}$): (in $\,ms^{-1}$)
