Answer :

The tension in the string for waves of frequency of 39 Hz to have a wavelength of 0.740 m is 1166 N.

The velocity(v) of a wave in a string is given by the following formula

V = 1/2L x √(T/μ) .........(i)

Here L is the length of rope

T is the tension

μ is the mass per unit length i.e, M/L

We know that v = f x λ

Where f is the frequency and λ is the wavelength

So, the equation becomes

f x λ =  1/2L x √(T/μ)

Putting f = 39 Hz, lambda = 0.740 m, L= 2.80 m and m = 0.125 kg

39 x 0.740 = 1/2(2.80) root T/(0.125/2.80)

On solving the above equation

T = 1166 N.

Hence, the tension in the string for waves of frequency of 39 Hz to have a wavelength of 0.740 m is 1166 N.
