Chapter 16, Problem 77(choose chapter or problem)
The type of rubber band used inside some baseballs and golf balls obeys Hookes law over a wide range of elongation of the band. A segment of this material has an unstretched length and a mass m. When a force F is applied, the band stretches an additional length . (a) What is the speed (in terms of m, , and the spring constant k) of transverse waves on this stretched rubber band? (b) Using your answer to (a), show that the time required for a transverse pulse to travel the length of the rubber band is proportional to if and is constant if .
