A 5.3 m wire with a mass of 87 g is attached to the mast of a sailboat. If the wire is given a "thunk" at one end, it takes 0.085 s for the resulting wave to reach the other end.
Part A What is the tension in the wire? Express your answer using two significant figures.
Part B
Would the tension found in part A be larger or smaller if the mass of the wire is greater than 87 g ?
Would the tension found in part A be larger or smaller if the mass of the wire is greater than 87 ?
