A 30.0 m steel wire and a 20.0 m copper wire, both with 1.00-mm diameters are connected end to end and stretched to a tension of 150 N. How long does it take a transverse wave to travel the entire length of the two wires?
I really don't need an answer but rather something to get me going.
Once again, I've become stuck on the easiest problem in the chapter (though I'm steamrolling the tougher ones). I just can't get the concept of this one down I guess. Thanks for any help.
