A horizontal wire has one end fastened to a wall while the other
end is pulled with a force of 200 N. The wire has a length of 5 m,
a volume mass density of 7,100 kg/m3 , and a resistivity
of 6.9e-07 Ωm. A transverse pulse takes 0.2 s to travel the length
of the wire. Calculate the electrical power dissipated by the wire
while a current of 2 A is passing through the wire.
Here we apply formula for velocity of wave on string and formula for resistance in terms of resistivity of wire and power dissipation across resistance R.
