(Figure 1) shows two masses hanging from a steel wire. The mass of the wire is \( 56.5 \mathrm{~g} \). A wave pulse travels along the wire from point 1 to point 2 in \( 27.0 \mathrm{~ms} \). Figure Part A What is mass \( m \) ? Express your answer with the appropriate units. View Available Hint(s) - Hint 1. How to approach the problem Recall the formula that relates wave speed to tension and linear density of a wire. Use it to calculate the tension in the horizontal segment of the wire. Then apply the equations of static equilibrium in the horizontal and vertical directions for point 1 or 2 .
