The extension in a string (obeying Hooke's law) is x. The speed of sound in the stretched string is v. If the extension in the string is increased to 1.5x, what would the speed of sound be?

Dear student,

v/x=v'/1.5x

v'=1.5v

acc to me the correct answer is 1.22v as v is proportional to √x.

Y=Fl/A∆l
 
F=(YA/l) ∆l 
F js Directly proportional to change in length
 
According to wave motion, v is Directly proportional to √F
 
Therefore, v is directly proportional to √∆l
 
V=kx 
V'=k√1.5x
V'=1.22v
