Chapter 14, Problem 106

(choose chapter or problem)

ASlinky has a mass of 0.28 kg and negligible length. When it is stretched 1.5 m, it is found that transverse waves travel the length of the Slinky in 0.75 s. (a)What is the force constant, k, of the Slinky? (b)If the Slinky is stretched farther, will the time required for a wave to travel the length of the Slinky increase, decrease, or stay the same? Explain. (c) If the Slinky is stretched 3.0 m, how much time does it take a wave to travel the length of the Slinky? (The Slinky stretches like an ideal spring, and propagates transverse waves like a rope with variable tension.)
