Question
The drawing shows two transverse waves traveling on two strings. The linear density of each string is 0.0605 kg/m, and the tension is provided by a 16.0-N block that is hanging from the string. Determine the speed of the wave in part (a) and part (b) of the drawing.

v^2 = T*L/M a) T = 16 N V^2 = 16 /0.0605 v = 16.262 m/s b) T = 8 N V^2 = 8 / 0.0605 V = 11.49 m/s
