(choose chapter or problem)

Longitudinal Waves on a Spring. A long spring such as a Slinky is often used to demonstrate longitudinal waves. (a) Show that if a spring that obeys Hookes law has mass m, length L, and force constant k, the speed of longitudinal waves on the spring is v = L2k>m (see Section 16.2). (b) Evaluate v for a spring with m = 0.250 kg, L = 2.00 m, and k = 1.50 N>m.
