(i.) The velocity v of a transverse wave on a stretched string is given by V = sqrt(T/µ) where T is the tension and µ is the mass per unit length.
(a.) Show that the equation is dimensionally correct.
(b.) Derive an expression for the fundamental frequency of a vibrating wire.
Answer
a) for dimensionally correct both side must be equal
In left hand side
Velocity= m/sec
In right hand side
Both side are equal so hence proved.
Frequency is given
