Question: A copper wire, whose cross - sectional area is 7 . 8 0 x 1 0 ^ - 6 m ^ 2 , has a

A copper wire, whose cross-sectional area is 7.80 x 10^-6 m^2, has a linear density of 8.53 x 10^-3 kg/m and is strung between two walls. At the ambient temperature, a transverse wave travels with a speed of 59.3 m/s on this wire. The coefficient of linear expansion for copper is 17 x 10^-6(C)^-1, and Young's modulus for copper is 1.1 x 10^11 N/m^2. What will be the speed of the wave when the temperature is lowered by 22.7 C? Ignore any change in the linear density caused by the change in temperature.
