The fundamental frequency of vibration of a string between two rigid support is 50Hz50Hz. The mass of the string is 18g18g and its linear mass density is 20gm−120g{m}^{- 1}. The speed of the transverse waves so produced in the string is _______ ms–1m{s}^{– 1}.

Correct answer

0

Step-by-step solution

The fundamental frequency is f=50Hzf = 50Hz.

The length of the string is l=λ2l = \dfrac{\lambda}{2}

Linear mass density is μ=ml=20gm−1\mu = \dfrac{m}{l} = 20g{m}^{- 1}

Using v=fλv = f\lambda

v2l=50\dfrac{v}{2l} = 50

⇒v=100×l=100×1820=90ms−1⇒ v = 100 \times l = \dfrac{100 \times 18}{20} = 90m{s}^{- 1}
