Question: A string has a mass of 1 2 0 1 2 0 g and a length of 3 . 0 3 . 0 m .
A string has a mass of 120 g and a length of 3.0 m. One end of the string is fixed to a lab stand and the other is attached to a spring with a spring constant of
ks =200 N/m.
The free end of the spring is attached to another lab pole. The tension in the string is maintained by the spring. The lab poles are separated by a distance that stretches the spring 2.00 cm. The string is plucked and a pulse travels along the string. What is the propagation speed of the pulse (in m/s)?
