Solution:

Given that,Tension in string, T = 40N , mass of string, m = 5gm = 0.005 kg ,length of the string, l = 10 m ,  v = ?

We know that velocity of a transverse wave on a string is given by,  v = √(T/μ)

where, t is tension in string & μ is the mass per unit length

μ = mass/length = 0.005/10 = 0.0005 kg/m

v = √(40/0.0005) = √80000 = 2√2 x 102 m/sec

Hence, Velocity v = 2√2 x 102 m/sec

The length of a metal wire is l_1 when the tension in it is T_1 and is l_2 when the tension is T, The natural length of the wire is

(c) (l1T2-l2 T1)/(T2-T1) Explanation:  If the original length of the wire be l and the area of the cross-section a, then   l₁-l = T₁*l/Ya  And l₂-l = T₂*l/Ya  Dividing we get,  (l₁ -l)*T₂ = (l₂-l)*T₁  →l₁T₂ -lT₂= l₂...

A wave going in a solid (a) must be longitudinal (b) may be longitudinal (c) must be transverse (d) may be transverse.

(b) may be longitudinal (d) may be transverse. EXPLANATION:   Both types of wave can travel through a solid. So it can either be a longitudinal wave or a transverse wave.

A wave moving in a gas (a) must be longitudinal (b) may be longitudinal (c) must be transverse (d) may be transverse.

(a) must be longitudinal EXPLANATION:   Only a longitudinal wave can move in a gas because the particles of the gas are not close enough to allow a transverse wave.

A wire of length 2.00 m is stretched to a tension of 160 N. If the fundamental frequency of vibration is 100 Hz, find its linear mass density.

l = 2m, f0 = 100 Hz, T = 160 N f0 = 1/ 2l √(T /m) =>m = 1 g/m. So, the linear mass density is 1 g/m.
