Question

The speed of transverse wave in a wire is $v=\sqrt{\frac{ T }{m}}$, where T is the tension force, $m$ is the mass of unit length of the wire in $kg /$ meter and the velocity is in meter/ second. Find the unit of tension force.

✓

Answer

Here, $m$ is mass of unit length of wire, hence tension force will be equal to force and its unit will be Newton or $\frac{ kg - m }{ s ^2}$.
