Expert Answer:
Velocity of transverse waves =
where T is tension in string and μ is the linear mass density
(density of copper = 8930 kg/m3 , wrong value is given in the question ! )
μ = Mass/Length = (density×crosssection area×Length)/Length = density×(crosssection area) = 8930 ×10-6 kg/m
Velocity of transverse waves =
