Question:
A coiled spring, such as a Slinky, is stretched to a length L. It has a force constant k and a mass m.
(a) Show that the velocity of longitudinal compression waves along the spring is given by v = L k/m
(b) Show that this is also the velocity of transverse waves along the spring if the natural length of the spring is much less than L.
