Question

A mass M is used to tension a wire, as shown. The mass per unit length of the wire is µ. If θ = 30 degrees, M = 3.0 kg, and μ = 0.035 kg/m, calculate the speed of waves traveling on the wire.

Diagram showing a mass M on a frictionless incline at angle θ, illustrating wave velocity on a wire. Illustration of mass M on a frictionless incline at angle θ, related to wave speed calculations.
