A wire with mass (m) is stretched so that its ends are tied down at points a distance (s) apart. The wire vibrates in its fundamental mode with frequency (f) and with an amplitude at the antinodes of (A).
[] How would I compute for the tension of the wire?
since f = (1/L)sqrt(Tension/omega) and in this problem L = s
so Tension = (sf)^2/omega?
Would that be right?
[] What is the speed of propagation of transverse waves in the wire?
Would that just be Velocity = fs ?
since f = v/L and L = s in this problem
Thank you for your help
