Discover the tension in the tightrope

Reference no: EM13669837

A circus performer stretches a tightrope among 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 0.905 s to reach the opposite tower, 20.0 m away. If a 1 meter length of the rope has a mass of 0.430 kg, discover the tension in the tightrope.
