Question: A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in the wires

A wire is stretched between two posts. Another wire is stretched between two posts that are twice as far apart. The tension in the wires is the same, and they have the same mass. A transverse wave travels on the shorter wire with a speed of 240 m/s. What would be the speed of the wave on the longer wire?
