a phone cord is 4.89 m long. the cord has a mass of 0.212 kg. a transverse wave pulse is produced by plucking one end of the taut cord. that pulse makes four round trips (down and back) along the cord in 0.636 s. what is the tension in the cord? hint: four round trips is a total distance of eight lengths of the cord.

Respuesta :

The tension in the given phone cord is 174.3 N.

Speed of the wave

v = fλ

v = (n/t) x 2L

v = (4/0.617) x (2 x 4.89)

v = 63.4 m/s

Tension on the rope

v = √T/μ

μ  = 0.212/4.89 = 0.0434 kg/m

v² = T/μ

T = v²μ

T = (63.4)² X 0.0434

T = 174.3 N

the tension in the given  phone cord is 174.3 N.

When two opposing pressures pull on a rope, string, or wire, the force communicated through the object is known as tension. The energy is pulled equally on the bodies at the ends by the tension force, which is applied over the entire length of the wire. The International System of Units (SI) uses newtons as the unit of tension measurement for transmitted forces, action-reaction pairs of forces, and restoring forces (or pounds-force in Imperial units).
