Question: A copper wire, whose cross - sectional area is 2 . 7 3 1 0 - 6 m 2 , has a linear density of

A copper wire, whose cross-sectional area is 2.7310-6 m2, has a linear density of 9.8010-3 kg/m and is strung between two walls.
At the ambient temperature, a transverse wave travels with a speed of 63.6 m/s on this wire. The coefficient of linear expansion for
copper is 1710-6(C9-1, and Young's modulus for copper is 1.11011 N/m?. What will be the speed of the wave when the
temperature is lowered by 26.9 C? Ignore any change in the linear density caused by the change in temperature.
