Answer:
Explanation:
velocity of wave in a tense wire is given by the expression
[tex]v= \sqrt{\frac{T}{m} }[/tex]
v is velocity . T is tension and m is mass per unit length .
for steel wire
m = π r² ρ where r is radius and ρ is density
= 3.14 x (5.3 x 10⁻⁴)²x7.75 x 10³
= 683.57 x 10⁻⁵ kg/m
v = [tex]\sqrt{\frac{148}{683.57\times 10^{-5}} }[/tex]
= 1.47 x 10² m /s
= 147 m /s
for iron wire
m = π r² ρ where r is radius and ρ is density
= 3.14 x (5.3 x 10⁻⁴)²x7.86 x 10³
= 693.27 x 10⁻⁵ kg/m
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{148}{693.27\times 10^{-5}} }[/tex]
= 146 m /s
Time taken to move from one end to another
= 17.7 / 147 + 28.5 / 146
= .12 + .195
= .315 s .
