Workers attach a 28.0 kg mass to one end of a 27.0 m long cable and secure the other end to the top of a stationary crane, suspending the mass in midair. If the cable has a mass of 24.0 kg, determine the speed of transverse waves at the middle and the bottom end of the cable. (Hint: Don't neglect. the cable's mass. Because of it, the tension increases from a minimum value at the bottom of the cable to a maximum value at the top. The acceleration of gravity is g = 9.80 m/s².) HINT (a) speed (in m/s) at the middle of the cable 14.8 X m/s (b) speed (in m/s) at the bottom of the cable 17.6 m/s
