The speed of the chord wave allows finding a new speed when the mass is increased and the chord length is:
A wave is a periodic movement of the particles that carries energy, but not matter, the speed of the waves is related to the properties of the medium by the relationship.
[tex]v = \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu } }[/tex]
Where v is the speed of the wave, T the force and μ is the linear density.
Indicates that the applied mass increases by a factor of 18.0 and the length of the head is increased to twice the original.
The linear density of the cable is
[tex]\mu = \frac{m}{l}[/tex]
Where m is the mass of the cable and l is the length.
Let's use the subscript "o" for the initial conditions.
M = 18.0 m₀
l = 2 l₀
We look for the density.
[tex]\mu = \frac{18.0 m_o}{2.0 l_o}[/tex]mu = 18.0 mo / 2 lo
[tex]\mu = 9.0 \mu_o[/tex]
We substitute in the expression for the velocity assuming that the tension is kept constant.
[tex]v= \sqrt{\frac{T}{9.0 \mu} }[/tex]
[tex]v= \frac{v_o}{3}[/tex]
In conclusion, using the speed of the chord wave we can find a new speed when the mass is increased and the chord length is:
