Transverse wave meet on two parallel wires with tension
Not what you're looking for?
Please help with the following problem. Provide step by step calculations.
Two wires are parallel, and one is directly above the other. Each has a length of 50.0 m and a mass per unit length of 0.020 kg/m. However, the tension in wire A is 6.00 x 10^2 N and the tension in wire B is 3.00 x 10^2 N. Transverse wave pulses are generated simultaneously, one at the left end of wire A and one at the right end of wire B. The pulses travel toward each other. How much time does it take until the pulses pass each other?
