Question

a) What is the fastest transverse wave that can be sent alonga steel wire? For safety reasons, the maximum tensile stressto which steel wires should be subjected is
7.00x10^8 N/m^2. The density of steel is 7800 kg/m^3. b) Does your answer depend on the diameter of the wire? a) What is the fastest transverse wave that can be sent alonga steel wire? For safety reasons, the maximum tensile stressto which steel wires should be subjected is
7.00x10^8 N/m^2. The density of steel is 7800 kg/m^3. b) Does your answer depend on the diameter of the wire?

Explanation / Answer

a)the fastest transverse wave that can be sent along a steelwire v = (K/)^(1/2) K is Bulk modulus and is the density of steelwire K = 7.00 * 10^8 N/m^2 = 7800 kg/m^3 b)the answer does not depend on the diameter of the wire.Thisis because the speed of traverse wave depends on the Bulk modulusand the density of steel wire.
