The linear density of a vibrating string is

1.3 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~kg ~m}^{-1}.

A transverse wave is propagating on the string and its described by the equation

y=0.021 \sin (x+30 t)

, where

x

and

y

are measured in

m

and

t

in

s

. The tension is the string is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

0.12 \mathrm{~N}

Option A (0.12 N) is correct because the tension in the string is calculated using the wave speed formula and the given linear density.
