A ski gondola is connected to the top of a hill by a steel cable of length 660 m and a diameter of 1.5 cm. As the gondola comes to the end of its run, it bumps into the terminal and sends a wave pulse along the cable. It is observed that it took 17 s for the pulse to return. What is the speed of the pulse? What is the tension in the cable? Sketch the situation, defining all of your variables.

What physics equation(s) will you utilize in order to solve this problem? For each equation you list, give a justification for why it applies to this situation.

Apply your equation(s) to solve the problem as an algebraic expression(s).
