Answer to Question #89510 in Physics for Rb

Question

With what tension must a rope with length 2.50m and mass 0.120 kg be stretched for transverse waves of frequency of 40.0 Hz to have a wavelength of 0.750m.

Answer 1

$$v=f\lambda=(40)(0.75)=30 \frac{m}{s}$$

Also

$$v=\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}$$

Tension:

$$T=\frac{mv^2}{l}=\frac{0.12(30)^2}{2.5}=43.2\ N$$
