Answer:
v = 3.12 m/s
Explanation:
First, we will find the length of the string by using the formula of the time period:
[tex]T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{l}{g}}\\\\l = \frac{T^2g}{4\pi^2}\\\\[/tex]
where,
l = length of string = ?
T = time period = 2 s
g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
Therefore,
[tex]l = \frac{(2\ s)^2(9.81\ m/s^2)}{4\pi^2}\\\\l = 0.99\ m[/tex]
Now, we will find tension in the string in the vertical position through the weight of the ball:
T = W = mg = (3 kg)(9.81 m/s²)
T = 29.43 N
Now, the speed of the transverse wave is given as follows:
[tex]v=\sqrt{\frac{Tl}{m}}\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{(29.43\ N)(0.99\ m)}{3\ kg}}\\\\[/tex]
v = 3.12 m/s
