$A$ transverse wave propagating on a stretched string of linear density $3 \times 10^{-4} \ kg \ m^{-1}$ is represented by the equation $y = 0.2 \sin (1.5 x + 60 t)$, where $x$ is in metres and $t$ is in seconds. The tension in the string (in newton) is

$A$ 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:
