Cables supporting a suspension bridge have a linear mass density of 3700 kg/m; the tension is 1.7 x 10 8 N. What would be the transverse wave speed in such a cable?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The  speed  is  [tex]v = 214.35 \ m/s[/tex]

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The  linear mass density is  [tex]\mu = 3700 \ kg/m[/tex]

    The tension is  [tex]T = 1.7*10^8 \ N[/tex]

The  transverse wave speed is mathematically represented as  

       [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu} }[/tex]

substituting values

      [tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{1.7 *10^{8}}{3700} }[/tex]

      [tex]v = 214.35 \ m/s[/tex]
