Relation between particle velocity and wave speed -

V_{P}= -V\: \frac{dy}{dx}

- wherein

V_{P}= particle velocity

V = wave velocity

\frac{dy}{dx}= slope of curve

 

 

Speed of wave on string -

v= \sqrt{\frac{T}{\mu }}
 

- wherein

T= Tension in the string

\mu = linear mass density

 

V=\frac{\omega }{K}=\frac{450}{9}=50m/s

V=\sqrt{\frac{T}{M}}

\Rightarrow \frac{T}{M}=2500

T=2500\times 5\times 10^{-3}

=12.5 N
