Chapter 16, Problem 16.7

(choose chapter or problem)

A 2.00-m-long metal wire is attached to a motion sensor, stretched horizontally to a pulley 1.50 m away, then connected to a 2.00 kg hanging mass that provides tension. A mechanical pick plucks a horizontal segment of wire right at the pulley, creating a small wave pulse that travels along the wire. The plucking motion starts a timer that is stopped by the motion sensor when the pulse reaches the end of the wire. What is the wires linear density if the pulse takes 18.0 ms to travel the length of the wire?
