On a distant planet where the gravitational acceleration is 5.52 m/s^2, an astronaut hangs a 112-gram ball from the end of a wire. she observes the speed of transverse pulse along the wire to be 44.4 m/s. the linear density of the wire is closest to: (a) 0.131 g/m (b) 0.172 g/m (c) 0.227 g/m (d) 0.314 g/m (e) 0.462 g/s

The linear density of the wire is 0.314 g/m.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Acceleration,

Mass of the ball, m = 112 gm

Speed of the transverse wave, v = 44.4 m/s

The speed of the transverse wave is given by :

Where

T = tension in the wire

= mass per unit length

or

So, the linear density of the wire is 0.314 g/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

answer: strength i guess

explanation:

wavelength divides in half and speed stays the same.
