tension is maintained in a string as in the figure. the observered wave speed is 26 m/s when the suspended mass is 3.2 kg

what is the mass per unit length of the string in kg/m

what is the wave speed of the suspended mass when it is 2.5 kg. ans in m/s

please help

(the picture has a string attached to a vertical wall then a pulley and then the mass hanging from the pulley)
