Workers attach a 25.0-kg mass to one end of a 20.0-in 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 12.0 kg, determine the speed of transverse waves at (a) the middle and (b) the bottom end of the cable. (Hint: Dont neglect the cables mass. Because of it, the tension increases from a minimum value at the bottom of the cable to a maximum value at the top.)

A Girl Scout is taking a 10.00-km hike to earn a merit badge. While on the hike, she sees a cliff some distance away. She wishes to estimate the time required to walk to the cliff. She knows that the speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second. She yells and finds that the echo returns after approximately 2.00 seconds. If she can hike 1.00 km in 10 minutes, how long would it take her to reach the cliff?
