Length of the steel wire is given as 
Mass of the steel wire is given as 
Velocity of the transverse wave is given as 
Mass per unit length is given as
As we know,
Expression for velocity of the transverse wave, 
Therefore, 
Steel wire has a length of 
and a mass of 
What should be the tension in the wire so that the speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at 
and a mass of What should be the tension in the wire so that the speed of a transverse wave on the wire equals the speed of sound in dry air at
