Answer: Tension = 47.8N, Δx = 11.5× $10^{-6}$ m.

Tension = 95.6N, Δx = 15.4× $10^{-5}$ m

Explanation: The speed of a wave on a string under tension can be determined using the following:

$|v| = \sqrt{\frac{F_{T}}{\mu} }$

$F_{T}$ denotes tension (N)

μ refers to linear density (kg/m)

Calculating the velocity:

$|v| = \sqrt{\frac{47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }$

$|v| = \sqrt{0.00874 }$

$|v| =$ 0.0935 m/s

Distance a pulse traveled in 1.23ms:

$\Delta x = |v|.t$

$\Delta x = 9.35.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}$

Δx = 11.5× $10^{-6}$

With a tension of 47.8N, the distance a pulse will cover is Δx = 11.5× $10^{-6}$ m.

When tension is doubled:

$|v| = \sqrt{\frac{2*47.8}{5.47.10^{-3}} }$

$|v| = \sqrt{2.0.00874 }$

$|v| = \sqrt{0.01568}$

|v| = 0.1252 m/s

Distance in the same time:

$\Delta x = |v|.t$

$\Delta x = 12.52.10^{-2}*1.23.10^{-3}$

$\Delta x =$ 15.4× $10^{-5}$

With the increased tension, it moves $\Delta x =$ 15.4× $10^{-5}$ m
