Equation of travelling wave on a stretched string of linear density \(5\,g/m\) is \(y = 0.03\,sin\,(450\,t -9x)\) where distance and time are measured in \(SI\) united. The tension in the string is ... \(N\)

  1. A \(10\)
  2. B \(7.5\)
  3. C \(12.5\)
  4. D \(5\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(12.5\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(y=0.03 \sin \left[450\left(t-\frac{9 x}{450}\right)\right]\) So, \(\mathrm{v}=\frac{450}{9}=50 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) Also, \(v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\lambda}}\) \(\Rightarrow 50=\sqrt{\frac{T}{5 \times 10^{-3}}}\) \(\Rightarrow T=2500 \times 5 \times 10^{-3}=12.5 \mathrm{N}\)
