Question

A 0.50kg cord is stretched between two supports 10m apart. When one support is struck by a hammer, a transverse wage travails down the cord and reaches the other support in 0.85seconds, what is the Tension, unit for Tension in this problem is (Ft), in the cord?

Explanation / Answer

mass per unit length

u = 0.5/10 = 0.05kg/m

from the given data

Velocit = 10/0.85

V = 11.7647 m/sec

we know that velocity

V = sqrt ( T /u)

where T is tension

T = 6.92 N ------------------------- answer
