The speed v of a transverse wave on a uniform string is given by the expression

v = √(Tl/m)

where T is the tension in the string, l is its length and m is its mass.

An experiment is performed to determine the speed v of the wave. The measurements are shown in Table 1.1.

Use the data in Table 1.1 to calculate the speed v.
