    How Does Spring Stretching Affect Wave Speed?

    Homework Statement An unstretched spring has a length of 0.30m. When the spring is stretched to a total length of 0.60m, it supports traveling waves moving at 4.5 m/s. How fast will waves travel on this spring if it is stretched 0.90m? Homework Equations ? The Attempt at a Solution ?
