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, \(v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\lambda}}\)

\(\Rightarrow 50=\sqrt{\frac{T}{5 \times 10^{-3}}}\)

\(\Rightarrow T=2500 \times 5 \times 10^{-3}=12.5 \mathrm{N}\)
