The equation of a transverse wave propagating along a stretched string of length 80 cm is \(\mathrm{y}=1.5 \sin \left\{\left(5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{x}\right)+20 \mathrm{t}\right\}\), here ' x ' and ' y ' are in cm and the time ' t ' is in second. If the mass of the string is 3 g, then the tension in the string is

  1. A 12 N
  2. B 4 N
  3. C 6 N
  4. D 8 N
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 6 N

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(k = 5 \times 10^{-3} \text{ cm}^{-1}\), \(\omega = 20 \text{ rad/s}\) \(v = \frac{\omega}{k} = \frac{20}{5 \times 10^{-3}} = 4000 \text{ cm/s} = 40 \text{ m/s}\) \(\mu = \frac{m}{L} = \frac{3 \times 10^{-3} \text{ kg}}{0.80 \text{ m}} = 0.00375 \text{ kg/m}\)…
