Find the speed of transverse waves in the wire

Reference no: EM13709781

Question: A variable-length air column is placed just below a vibrating wire that is fixed at the both ends. The length of air column open at one end is gradually increased from zero until the first position of resonance is observed at 25.3 cm. The wire is 88.6 cm long and is vibrating in its third harmonic.

Part A: Find the speed of transverse waves in the wire if the speed of sound in air is 340 m/s.

Answer in units of m/s.

I need help to determine the speed of transverse waves in the wire.
