Question: A light string with a mass per unit length of 6 . 8 0 g / m has its ends tied to two walls separated

A light string with a mass per unit length of 6.80 g/m has its ends tied to two walls separated by a distance equal to three-fourths the length of the string. An object of mass m is suspended from the center of the string, putting a tension in the string.
(a) Find an expression for the transverse wave speed in the string as a function of the mass of the hanging object. (Answer in terms of the mass m and note that this is the speed due to the mass/unit length and tension.)
(b) What should be the mass of the object suspended from the string in order to produce a wave speed of 70.0 m/s?
kg
