A simple pendulum consists of a ball of mass 3 kg hanging from a uniform string of mass 0.05 kg and length L. If the period of oscillation of the pendulum is 2 s, determine the speed of a transverse wave in the string when the pendulum hangs vertically.

v = 3.12 m/s

Explanation:

First, we will find the length of the string by using the formula of the time period:

where,

l = length of string = ?

T = time period = 2 s

g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

Therefore,

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:

v = 3.12 m/s

  the unit of the measure =

explanation:

  the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one.

  si unit of energy = joule (j)

  si unit of temperature = kelvin (k)

  si unit of mass of material = kilogram (kg)

the property that is quantified by the energy needed per of material to raise the temperature by one is called specific heat.

the unit of specific heat is

r = ρ x length / area  

ρ = r x area / length  

ρ is in ohm-meters  

in basic units, it is m³kg/s³a²  

i think this is it.
