A circus performer stretches a tightrope between two towers. He strikes one end of the rope and sends a wave along it toward the other tower. He notes that it takes the wave 0.695 s to reach the opposite tower, 20.0 m away. If a 1.00-m length of the rope has a mass of 0.415 kg, find the tension in the tightrope. N
