Consider a string with a mass of 36.2 g and a length of 39.6 cm. Determine the linear density of the string in [tex]\text{kg/m}[/tex].

Answer :

Answer:

Linear density will be 0.0914 kg/m

Explanation:

We have given mass of the string m = 36.2 kg

Length of the string L = 39.6 cm

We know that 1 kg = 1000 gram

So 36.2 gram [tex]=\frac{36.2}{1000}=0.0362kg[/tex]

Also we know that 1 meter = 100 cm

So 39.6 cm [tex]=\frac{39.6}{100}=0.396m[/tex]

We have to calculate the linear density

Linear density is given by [tex]linear\ density=\frac{mass}{length}=\frac{0.0362}{0.396}=0.0914kg/m[/tex]
