  • question_answer
    A transverse wave travels on a taut steel wire with a velocity of v when tension in it is\[2.06\times \,\,{{10}^{4}}\text{ }N.\] When the tension is changed to T, the velocity changed to v/2. The value of T is close to [JEE MAIN Held on 08-01-2020 Evening]

    A) \[30.5\times {{10}^{4}}\text{ }N\]

    B) \[2.50\times {{10}^{4}}\text{ }N\]

    C) \[5.15\times {{10}^{3}}\text{ }N\]        

    D) \[10.2\times {{10}^{2}}\text{ }N\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[v=\sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}\] \[\Rightarrow \frac{{{v}_{1}}}{{{v}_{2}}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{T}_{1}}}{{{T}_{2}}}}\]         \[\Rightarrow \frac{v}{v}\times 2=\sqrt{\frac{2.06\times {{10}^{4}}}{{{T}_{2}}}}\] \[\Rightarrow {{T}_{2}}=\frac{2.06\times {{10}^{4}}}{4}=0.515\times {{10}^{4}}N\] \[\Rightarrow {{T}_{2}}=5.15\times {{10}^{3}}N\]
